    If this works, this could be the coolest thing I have ever seen. And for everybody who asks "What happens if kids run across the street?" and "What happens when he hits a pothole at 80 mph?" Shut up. This thing ain't never going to be street legal, and won't go higher than 20 mph. This guy will get high with his buddies, and try to drive this thing down the hallway in the dorms, and hit a wall, and that will be the end of it. If it does work, however, then in 10 years we'll all be working for this guy, or we'll all be dead by his hand. #outrun

    Having a bumper car ring filled with vehicles like this (with proper safety harnesses, bumpers, and so forth) might actually be a lot of fun. Bonus points if the other bumper cars would show up "virtually" in the Out Run videogame.

    As for use on public roads, I suspect the Department of Licensing might take issue with the CRT air bag. Just a guess. #outrun

    Occam's Razor states: entities must not be multiplied beyond necessity.

    Example: adding a camera to display video of images that could be directly visible through a window. The complexity is less efficient than the simple.

    Little known fact: Occam's Razor does not apply to stupid YouTube-esque stunts. Multiply away! #outrun

    @OCEntertainment: It's the corollary, Occam's Raiser: The complexity of the idea, design, or apparatus shall be needlessly multiplied in order to merge as many ridiculous and/or unnecessary steps as possible to achieve somehting which is impractical, yet inherently and unfathomably desirable. Correspondingly, the safety and practicality of the whole shall diminish exponentially with the addition of each needlessly wasteful component.

    @OCEntertainment: Quite similar to the Rube Goldberg principle. I would say the only difference is that the Rube Goldberg principle almost explicitly implies the chain reaction of multiple events intended to perform one simple task, often in a deliberately humorous way. Occam's Raiser implies an unintended escalation of complexity through the merging of two (or more) devices to create a new device that is more dangerous (and less useful) than the sum of its parts.

    Perhaps another appropriate term I could coin would be "disconvergence" where two ostensibly useful devices are rendered less than ideally operable (or unsafe) by virtue of being unified into an unstable and incoherent whole. #outrun
