    As soon as I saw this thing boost forward using rocket thrust both my bf and I said “if this is ever on the road everyone near this thing dies.”

    Because some fucking brain dead idiot is going to rocket boost, kill himself from the speed, everyone behind him from the backblast, and everyone in front of him from the giant expensive bullet that was just created.

    This is never going to get on the roads, and if it does, it’ll be only for police and military, if it’s not relegated to an expensive toy for the ultra rich they can’t even drive on the road.

      Roadster is definitely coming out, but 100% not going to have a thruster fit into a car, no one should listen to Empty Husk when he said that.

      Last I knew like 1/3 of the population would pass out or such experiencing those g forces. Aka no person can be trusted to drive the device past performing the possibly brain damaging device.

        Passing out for half a second wouldn’t even matter since you cant steer or break either way during the boost.
