Slice of Pie Car
A tiny car designed to fit in the leftover spaces of some parking lots. | |
Some parking lot are striped so all the cars are at roughly 45 degrees to the access lane. It makes traffic flow a bit better.
At the end of these blocks there is landscaping, or shopping cart corrals, or sometimes just a triangle of asphalt.
A three wheeled vehicle , sort of slice of pie shaped,
designed to fit that triangle of asphalt is what is proposed. Motor cycle engine driven. Or a street legal golf cart with modifications.
Some delivery companies might find such a vehicle useful.
Blood samples, or bookkeeping sales receipts don't need a lot of room. Might have to hire drivers based on if they could fit comfortably in the vehicle. No NBA centers.
Added benefit: Two such cars could fit nose to tail in a single normal parking space.

You could probably use a Reliant Robin for this - no? |

Ahh, the Plastic Pig ... not so much a car, more a self-propelled coffin. |

But not as bad as <link> … |

And he said, there is a link! but lo, there was no link. For
those who carefully sought yet was no link. Then the link-
seekers did mourn and gnash their teeth, but still no link
was given them, and they were called linkless, in their
tongue "those who could not be linked" |

Yes, but it would be a single-use system ... think Martin-Baker. |
