  1. Around 20 years ago, Prodrive (Banbury UK) had a tandem seat lean steer called the Naro. The industry was largely disinterested though Peugeot and Toyota had their ideas for the same setup. Narrow cars turn extremely well when they lean and passengers feel no cornering forces. The hard part them was finding computers that could make the switch from low speed normal steering to high speed counter-steering. Bikers could do it fine without but average car drivers could not. Fit a steering wheel and nobody could drive it. Considerable computer power is needed. Even worse, you still have to fit a mechanical steering shaft. Not good when the wheels are doing the opposite of when the steering wheel is asking for.

  2. I would like to see a longer wheelbase. That would give a better balance of length to height with almost no additional costs to build.
