GM and Segway demonstrated today a new two-wheeled urban vehicle prototype called the PUMA that may change the way people commute around town. They also assert that they have the GPS technology to have the vehicles drive themselves. While I can see the promise of the latter idea, I have my doubts about the vehicle itself.

  • The more I look at this early prototype PUMA based on its URBAN application, the better I think the idea actually is.

    The average car only has one occupant at any given time. You can park 6 PUMAs in the space of ONE regular car and get 2 PUMAs side by side in each car lane!

    It costs only 35 cents to go 35-mph for 35 miles and may be the answer to city congestion, wasting gas & smog.

    I'm looking forward to this early prototype being"fleshed-out" with full body, doors etc.

  • I agree that it solves problems for some aspects of urban living. I just think that when they "flesh out" the prototype, they should abandon expensive segway technology and just use 4 wheels, even if you could only park 3 or 4 of them in a car space instead of 6. We aren't that pressed for space yet. Just ask Taiwan or Japan.
