The Mia Electric is an Electric City Car with a Central Driver's Seat
I asked the Lane Motor Museum if I could come and film some of their oddball cars. Of the four I featured, this one is my favorite.

Sorry Rob - I have to guess: Can you see traffic lights from the driver's seat? I wonder if those are to help you see the colour of them without ducking your head ?
I'm not sure if it's right, but that sound like a plausible explanation. The drivers seat seems to be pretty far back from the windscreen.
Here, I got you this (strange turn signal sound): https://youtu.be/TQegJoa0F6Y
Something about those interior trays remind me of a lunch tray you'd see in a hospital cafeteria. Looking forward to more videos of cars from the Lane Motor Museum, that place is a treasure and I need to find an excuse to go back.
I was thinking lunch trays too!
I love the looks. It just needs a battery and motor upgrade (and for it not to be built by the French).
Great video, being french I looked for the purpose of those dashboard mirrors, no help in the user manual. Link here: http://vehiculeselectriques.free.fr/Download/mia/mia%20manuel_utilisation_livre_16_05_2013_0.pdf
Despite not understanding absolutely anything in that, I loved perusing that manual. Thanks for the link!
You have to convert the bus to a central steering position. :P
Too bad I'd have to sit on top of the engine
Dude I so love your enthousiasm :) And that's a cute and quirky car.
