Your thoughts on compacts cars like this?
Kia Ray is a compact car, currently only available in South Korea. It's tiny yet can carry a lot so a lot of small businesses have these as a van alternative.
I hate cars. But getting rid of them has a long way ahead and I think this kind of small-but-big kind of car can appeal general public and make cities better.

This looks to be as tall as a person? How is that 'tiny'?
The car being taller doesn’t mean it takes up more space on the road. It does mean an increased rollover risk however.
For space taken up on the road, being half a meter shorter or longer doesn't make much of a difference, since the distance between cars is much larger. And for parking, being as tall as a person greatly reduces street visibility for pedestrians. Don't get me wrong, this car is much better than a truck or SUV, but it is not 'tiny'.
Damn, and I looked at it and thought: it’s shorter than a tiny woman and the seats are near vertical …. I wonder if it would fit an average adult outside of Korea, let alone someone even a little big or tall.
I'm 6ft and it's more than fine for me
