Watch This!
Perhaps you've seen the story on Straightline about the collaboration between GM and Segway on a two-seat, two-wheel electric mobility pod called Project P.U.M.A, which stands for Personal Urban Mobility and Accessibility.
A 2-seater Segway. Yea that will solve GM's woes. But I digress.
My favorite thought about the whole idea came from Larry Burns, GM's vice president of research and development, and strategic planning.
Ideally, the vehicles would also be part of a communications network that through the use of transponder and GPS technology would allow them to drive themselves. The vehicles would automatically avoid obstacles such as pedestrians and other cars and therefore never crash, Burns said.
Yea... right... Hey! Watch THIS!
