The most aerodynamic shape is a drop of water, not this monstrosity. Stop wasting ressources and open a book

Also this shape wouldn't survive pedestrian collision laws.

How do busses and trucks survive pedestrian collision laws?

As in those laws would make this shape illegal. Busses and trucks are flat nosed to spread impact over a wider area. It's meant to knock them back, whereas this would shatter someone's hip and either throw them over or under the vehicle.

So I assume this will never be street legal then?

Awesome, thanks for getting me to look into it.

"Under U.S. federal law (specifically the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration / FMVSS definitions), any motor vehicle with no more than three wheels is legally classified as a motorcycle. At the state level, vehicles like the Aptera (which feature a steering wheel, bucket seats, and foot pedals) are generally regulated as autocycles."

So you're incorrect, and all I need to do this is this. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Crushing it into a compact tear drop would work and be safer to all other road users.
