Does anyone know if or where they are available in Europe?


I remember many of them from germany. As small vans, for maybe 6 to 8 people. As delivery cars, used by handyman/tradespeople/landscapers/gardeners, utility/cleaner cars driving through parks, car-free downtown/CBD, and so on. Until about a decade ago.

Nowadays I'm only visiting, and the picture seems to have changed somehow, they are still there, but less so. Most recently grocery deliveries by http://picnic.de come to mind. Don't know which brand/model that car is, but it looks 'Kei' to me.


Just to warn you: A friend of mine has an imported (Daihatsu) Kei car, and the replacement part situation can be rough.


Plenty of people export them, annoyingly for Japanese , this drives up the prices on second hand vehicles…what’s supposed to be a cheap inexpensive cars becomes a delicacy in the US lol


there are (were?) italian variants from piaggio


To me "property based testing" would come to mind, where you would define properties of the input and output of a method and the library runs random test cases for you. The most prominent implementation would be QuickCheck[0], which is written in Haskell, but there are re-implementations of it in almost every language.
