The name is still to be clarified as, so far what is know is that it is a part of a project called “PUMA” – Personal Urban Mobility and Accessibility.
GM and Segway are working together to create this marvelous little vehicle. It uses the balancing technology of the Segway - the famous two-wheeled recreational vehicle, and is planned to incorporate networking abilities between the vehicles taking traveling to a whole new level. It has a communication system that includes a built in GPS system, so this new vehicle would actually be able to navigate itself and spot obstacles in the road. This allows for a reduced rate of accidents, which is a healthy addition for any driver and it will sort out a lot of the “road rage” incidents. Because you can have the option for the vehicle to take you to your designated destination without you having to drive you will have more time for your morning newspaper, or a book on your Kindle. It can easily be turned into an entertainment box – couple of touch screens, broadband internet, sounds like a plan…
