It is an interesting advance in India where it will replace the major mode of motorized transport currently used... scooters. This is the first time that lots of families will be able to have a sheltered transport that can move more than 1 or 2 people around at a time.
It is going to be huge in its intended market. Worldwide use is going to be non-existent IMO.
It is also going to be a huge problem for the congestion of metropolitan India. Ask anyone who has traveled to Dehli, Mumbia, or other larger Indian cities. The streets are positively choked with scooters, pedestrians, bicycles, commercial vehicles, livestocks, wagons, carts, and on and on. Add to that mix, these Nano cars, many of which will be driven by people who have never before driven a car... ever. Yeah, it is going to be messy.
