Oh yeah, for sure. To clarify, I'm not saying, "this is a bad design, therefore let's just keep using cars". I'm saying, "this solution has some flaws that should be addressed before it's presented as a replacement for some car use cases".

Potholes could be dangerous for this vehicle because you might not have a great view of the road itself, but you might still be less likely to hit a child because you can see them easier than an empty truck or SUV.
