In Protoscar’s defense, it has to be said it is no car manufacturer. I’m sure no regular automaker would let anyone drive a car at this stage of development. There are flaws, like the front wheel rubbing when you turn sharply and an emergency stop button inexplicably located in the armrest. But those don’t detract from what Protoscar has accomplished in showcasing what can be done with the available technology.
Trouble is, that technology is only semi-functional in this car. Protoscar experienced trouble driving the car during the Viking Rally from Oslo to Stavanger, so it was only at 60 percent power. On top of that, I had to promise not to push the car hard to avoid further problems and top speed was limited to 120 kph (about 75 mph).
