Let's build open source cars.
I like the enthusiasm, but I have no idea how a community driven project would interface with the appropriate regulatory boards to perform the safety tests to make such a vehicle street legal.
Even if we got a prototype through that, the organization would then have to take on the burden of ensuring every build lived up to the prototype, and that would almost definitely go against the spirit of being community driven.
At that point it'll just be a company that doesn't pay their people lol.
I see what you did there.
I’m getting a bicycle because I’m two tired of all these car puns.
I mean, there are car builder kits.
The DIY urban transportation community has settled on an even more portable solution called the "e-bike." It can tow a trailer of cargo or small kids, and makes city parking much easier.
Or pirate name brand cars.
You wouldn't download a car
Only due to logistical issues. Metal printers aren't that good yet.
Takes a one-time membership fee, but you'll find just about anything on mhhauto.
