Spark

The studio measured 200 streets before drawing a body.

Most 'urban vehicles' were still too wide for the places they claimed to serve.

Friction

EVs copied the sedan.
Arc starts from the block: How little metal can still feel safe in the rain at 45 km/h?

Bet

A compact vehicle designed around one city block.

Build

A narrow track, enclosed cabin, and swappable battery.

Street tests are underway with municipal partners; highway use is explicitly out of scope.
