Developed as part of a collaboration between G.M. and Segway, P.U.M.A. stands for Personal Urban Mobility and Accessibility vehicle. It’s a two-wheeled vehicle that balances on gyroscopes and is powered by rechargeable batteries.
Top speed is 35 miles per hour or three times as fast as a Segway scooter and it will take you 35 miles on a single charge. Furthermore, equipped to communicate with each other wirelessly to regulate speed, reduce congestion and prevent accidents, these small, nimble electric vehicles are designed to know where other moving objects are and will avoid running into them.
Unfortunately the P.U.M.A. is not expected to be available until 2012.
