Cardboard, carbon fiber, it's all roughly the same.

I want one of those fiats 600. When we were kids, my mom used to pack
my two brothers and I and a bunch of friends or others in a tiny fiat
600. Now, whenever I see one, I think that i wouldn't be able to fit
in one by myself.

I remember a car like that in the 70s with three wheels. there was one
door at the front that lifted up.

I remember once on vacation in Peru my mom borrowed a VW bug and we
would fit eight. My mom drove. Two people sat in the front passenger
sit, four would sit in the back and my brother would sit in the
luggage space behind. We would pack up my dad, all my cousins, my
brother and whomever else and we would head out to the beaches in
Lima. No seatbelts, child seats or tickets back then.

Probably a BMW Isetta. The Isetta is a lot bigger than this thing.

Yeah, that's what it was called. It was also bigger than the thing in
the video. I remember that two adults and one child fitted in the
isetta thingy. There is this guy around my neighborhood that drives
this tiny Mercedes Benz. he drives it on the streets next to the much
larger cars including huge pick ups, hummers, etc. the thing looks
tiny.

I wonder how that compares in size to a Corbin Sparrow. The Sparrow is
much narrower, but longer and maybe taller.

Looks to be almost as much fun as an argument with "jim beam". 😉

Probably an A-class. Those things are fairly small, but not nearly as
small as a Smart (Benz/Swatch cooperative venture).

Well, the Smart's not bad for going through cramped inner cities (no,
lower Manhattan doesn't qualify), but I'm not sure if it's really suitable
for the electric conversion.
