Field notes
The page organizes its proposal around vehicle design, commuter economics, public safety, and Chicago’s traffic-death target, with source links attached to its statistics. It describes a two-person vehicle with no steering wheel or pedals, butterfly doors, and a stated vehicle-cost target below $30,000. The site presents the fleet as a plan rather than documenting an operating service, and says a fare table would be published before the first ride.
