If you asked an alien who had never seen a car before, “design a vehicle that carries one single human for 90% of the trips and sits idle 90% of the day”, they would never in a million years come up with something as hideously oversized and wasteful as a modern car…
I think if you add the requirement to have protection from the elements, you won’t be too far from a car.
Velomobiles are pretty cool.
also, it weighs a ton or 2 to carry 70 to 90kg
it can run as fast as 200km, while it’s legally forbidden to go faster than 130, to be ridden mostly in places where it’s limited to 50 or 30km
optionally, it makes awful noises and drinks the blood of animals that died millions of years ago
