Is Project PUMA really the future of urban transportation?
Segway and some company called GM unveiled the Puma, or “Personal Urban Mobility and Accessibility” vehicle. It is a two-wheeled, one person, electric pod
I am not impressed. These designs are the pathetic death throes of a dying industry. Private vehicle transportation in an urban environment has got to go.
While there MAY be a place for such vehicles in a transit ecosystem (and that’s a big MAY) we’d be better off not having it come from GM. Still, I’m sure they shall receive billions from Canadian and US governments to pursue this. (via City Fix)
