I'm surprised people didn't like them. they are super popular in places that tolerate them e.g. more vacation/resort style towns as the designated grocery getter once you've parked the main car for the weekend. I'd love to have one. I've seen like two of them in the grocery store lot before here in socal.

They failed too quickly to be useful. Additionally they ran on banks of cheap car batteries that were too expensive to replace because there were so many of them, and while the manufacturer could get cheap ones, as a consumer you couldn't.

They were a toy basically, and an utter waste of government money.
