Continued from page 21 the crumbs, but soon it will be a larger bite of the sandwich.    IGC: And what about gated communities, will the 411 have a market in this segment? Brian: I’m not betting the 411 will start showing up in my neigh- borhood, or yours, anytime soon. Unless of course, it’s carrying my wife’s Amazon prime packages.   IGC: Have you had any early cus- tomer reaction to the vehicle? Brian: Most of the response we’ve received has been very positive. Most notably, the styling, capacity and features are all impressive.    IGC: I believe the vehicle is pow- ered by six 12-volt, VRLA sealed batteries.  Is there a lithium battery option for the vehicle?  If not, would it not be desirable to have one?  (Reduces weight, adds to range, faster recharge.) Brian: Lithium Ion is the wave of the future and most certainly will be available in time, hopefully by 2020.    IGC: Brian, you have been sup- porting recent California State legislation, which encourages local communities and munic- ipalities to include low-speed vehicles in their transportation systems.  How might the 411 en- hance the prospects for the adop- tion of LSV-friendly systems?   Brian: The 411, and other vehi- cles like this, will grow to become more relevant in both commer- cial, consumer and municipal uses. So, it’s only a matter of time until we see these vehicles showing up on street corners throughout America.  It’s going to take a little time, and a lot of work, but there’s no doubt that governments everywhere, including California, will make room for these vehicles. It only makes sense.   IGC: What is it you particularly like about the 411 as a utility ve- hicle product?  (it would be good to cite specific specifications.)   Brian’s vision can be summed up in his words, “…we see these vehi- cles showing up on street corners throughout America.” And when the 411 is delivering Amazon Prime packages to Brian’s wife, you can bet this type of vehicle will be doing just that.
