  Am I going crazy? Isn't this design transparently unworkable because of the low clearance? Perhaps as a short-range shuttle on impeccably-paved roads... even then I am not sure what kind of adamantium suspension they are planning on, because 20 people piling in should sink this thing right to the ground. How on earth will it handle a speed bump?

  Several years ago Musk grabbed a crayon and some construction paper, scribbled, and said "Cybertruck!" But there was at least a physically plausible way to turn that into a real vehicle - not a good vehicle, but one where the wheels basically worked. This robovan seems doomed from the start.
