As long as they don’t interfere with bikes and pedestrians. My only fear is that it turns into something like the “hazard lights are park in bike lane” phenomena that some drivers have gotten stuck in their heads. But properly constructed, they look okay to drive and highly functional in dense areas especially.
Until they’re not fast enough to keep up with cars. I got honked at literally today for riding my bike at a reasonable biking speed, in a road where bikers and cars are supposed to use the same the outer lane, because I wasn’t as fast as the car in front of me and this pissed off the driver behind me. Like, fucking merge into the centre lane, I’m not Hercules so 15 kph is all you’re getting out of me!
Yeah, I have been there. Car drivers don’t totally respect other cars either, but they tend to give them a little more space/forgiveness than bikers in my area. I would be interested to see the compared reaction of car drivers between you on your bike going 15 and this thing doing the same.

I agree, and because they look enough like cars they might get some respect in the car lanes.
