The vehicle, called 3R-C, was designed by Honda’s Research and Design studio in Milan, Italy. The 3R-C concept envisions a future minimal urban transport vehicle for one passenger. The battery electric drive train is mounted low in the three wheeled chassis, therefore keeping the centre of gravity low and therefore improving stability.

It has a translucent canopy that covers the driver’s seat when the vehicle is parked and acts as a protective windshield and air deflector when in operation.

The message of the Startup Visa program is simple: More startups, more jobs. The bill proposes legislation to modify the existing EB-5 Visa in order to create jobs and therefore stimulate the US economy. This would enable immigrant entrepreneurs who are creating new companies to obtain an employment-based US visa, as long as they raise at least $100,000 per founder and $250,000 per company from a sponsoring US venture capital or angel investor. The Act also provides an alternative to other existent immigrant visas, such as the controversial H-1B, which allows highly skilled immigrants to work in specialized occupations.

Two years after receiving the visa, these entrepreneurs would be granted permanent residency status if they employ at least five people (other than spouse, sons or daughters), raise at least $1 million in financing, or generate over $1 million in revenue.
