As I entered the prototype Peugeot had on display at the MWC, I chose the "relax" mode and the car's steering wheel and gas pedal retracted themselves, the seat put me in a leaned back position, and the car entered a self-driving mode, enabling me to chill with a book (the car didn't actually speak to me, but Peugeot told me that voice controls, in the form of a speech-driven chat bot, are a part of its plans).

Look at everything he gets in here: There's a metaphor about how hot he is, which turns into a metaphor about how far ahead of his competition he is, which includes a punchline about sleeping because he's so far ahead, which sets up another punchline about not waking up his foot, which leads into another metaphor about how hard he's pressing down the gas pedal, which sets up another metaphor about how he's not stopping, which ultimately leads him to conclude, once again, in case it was unclear, how much he's winning.

Bolt does feel like is a family car with some fire, however, and a fun quotient that deepens if, as I hinted above, you venture out of the car's default drive mode and take advantage of some of the unique features it can offer specifically because it is an EV. In Drive, which you enter by simply pushing the new electronic shift down, the car feels very similar to whatever fossil fuel-based ride you might be used to; It accelerates when you hit the now-inappropriately named 'gas' pedal, and coasts when you remove it, decelerating slowly and smoothly.
