While it's an interesting concept, I'm a bit skeptical about the long-term usage. Especially for long distance cycling, a personal touch is essential.

I do agree that human touch in cycling has its value but I see this more suitable for daily commute and short range transportation.

Using Real-time machine learning and ai capabilities for path planning, handling complex situations is certainly possible, but it's a constant work-in-progress.

Yes, solar panels are integrated in the final design. Regarding regulations, we are working with government bodies to meet the necessary requirements.

While the invention is impressive, it appears that regulatory issues may stop it from being implemented.
