Awesome work by Citroen.
In Marseille (FR) we have an interesting solution based on Renault's Twizy, where people share small all-electric cars. You drive and drop them for 15mn if you like, much like a scooter. It's operated by a company called Totem, but I'm very interested in the idea of the carmaker itself running a similar service, like Citroen is going to.

I am French and Citroen has a special place in my mind as an niche innovator. So my hot take is that a14 year old will prefer to take the bus that arrive at school in that car.

How do we get this in the US?

So someone age 14 can use this without a drivers license? It's not a self-driving car, so the person driving it should, NO MUST know the rules of the road. This is a horrendous accident waiting to happen b'c a 14 kid will get killed being hit by a larger car or semi truck b'c s/he doesn't know the rules of the road. My guess is bad marketing! Otherwise, innovation is good!

@clickryan Renault did the same several years ago with the Twizzy, and no big troubles (16 years old, not 14, but still).

I wonder how putting more cars on the streets does actually address our actual mobility crisis? 🤔

Top speed it limited to 45 km/h.
Why in gods name does no company create a sub 10k electric vehicle with reasonable speed.
I don't want a Tesla or even an electric smart. I live in a big city. I'll drive 50km max each day. I want a tiny car that protects me from the weather, costs little and allows me to take a passenger and some shopping bags. That's it.
Can't be that difficult.
The Renault Twizy was a start in the right direction.
