How would you feel if you were on the Bay Bridge and came up on this?
Calling it the Tango, Rick Woodbury is marketing it, among other things, as a lane splitter. In his own article, found here:

He states:
For the Tango to get a foothold so that the doubling of lane capacity can be achieved, it must have immediate advantages over a standard car. In California, Europe, and the Orient, lane-splitting is allowed for motorcycles, some of which are 5" wider than the Tango. The Tango is actually 5" narrower than a Honda Gold Wing from mirror to mirror. I've noted situations where traffic jams were so bad coming off of the San Francisco Bay bridge that the motorcycles were traveling in 20 seconds the distance that it took cars to travel 20 minutes--a 60 to 1 advantage. The Tango could have done the same.
Should I be open minded, or should I be looking at a vehicle like this as a new way for people to get into accidents, leading to anti-sharing legislation?
Conveiniently, you can make comments to the article, and it appears that Mr. Woodbury is monitoring and responding to comments.
