6. Eventually we'll need some commonsense revision of regulations

that allow ultra light cars in cities and suburbs, but they're highly impractical at highway speeds. Consider being passed by a big rig on a bridge, white knuckle city as the ultralight gets blown all over the road.

Restricting the interstates to trucking and heavy intercity vehicles would make a bit more sense.

Most people stay within 30 miles of home unless they're going on vacation. For those people, ultralights make the most sense, renting cars once a year for that vacation the obvious solution for that.
