    He might be a fraud. Don’t know. It’s a good initiative anyway. I’ve been waiting for FOSS DIY cars to become popular for 15+ years. Don’t know why it never really takes off. Well, probably because of the big players lobbying/preventing, regulations and the lack of capital.

      Idk. I wouldn’t be shocked if he came out with some sort of neighborhood mobility kit car that costs $30k. There are actually already multiple “car” options that are similar but none are FOSS and all are basically glorified gokarts that aren’t street legal. I imagine this will end up being the same kind of thing, a wealthy persons play toy.
