French car company Citroën has created an electric car so small that, in some countries, teenagers will be able to drive it without a license.
The two-seat Ami is 2.4 meters long, 1.4 meters wide, 1.5 meters high, and can only drive up to 45 kilometers per hour. However, it can be charged in just three hours using a power outlet at home, and can drive about 70 kilometers per charge. It costs just $6,600.
The vehicle is so small and slow that, in some countries, it will be regulated not as a car, but as a four-wheeled scooter. This means it can be driven by teenagers as young as 14 in France, or 16 in many other European countries, and they will not need a license.
Citroën made the Ami to be as cheap as possible. The same parts are used for its front and back, and both doors also use the same parts — so the driver's door opens from the back of the car, but the passenger's door opens from the front.
The Ami also has very few instruments on its dashboard. Instead, there is a place in the dashboard for the driver's phone, which can use an app to show more information from the car as it drives.
✋Summary
法國車廠雪鐵龍（Citroën）推出一種小型電動車，這種電動車小到某些國家的青少年不需駕照都可以駕駛。由於這種車輛體積小、速度緩慢，在某些國家中便被歸類為四輪機車，而非汽車。 這意味著法國年滿14歲的青少年，或許多其他歐洲國家16歲的青少年不需駕照就可以駕駛這款自動車。
