Do electric cars count as technology? They certainly don’t count as public transit. The Leapmotor S01 looks cool as hell and has a range of about 220 miles. It has a self driving feature on par with Tesla’s current “Full Self Driving” SAE Level 2 automation with a possibility of an upgrade to Level 3 automation, all while costing less than half as much as Tesla’s cheapest car (which doesn’t even include self driving at that price).
The changli ones for $1500 or so can be imported to the US or Canada as an NEV in the US or an LSV in Canada and are road legal when capped at 25 mph in many (not all) jurisdictions. Check your local laws.
The mini EV, as far as I can tell is a no-go here in Canada but I’m no lawyer. And I don’t really know about the US. I would say probably not as it’s basically a real car. There are tons of restrictions on cars under 15 years old in Canada and on cars under 25 years old in the US that would likely make it impossible.
