GM Partners on Enclosed, 1-Seater Segway

In a bid to innovate its way to a viable future, GM is working with Segway to make a two-wheeled urban single-passenger vehicle, reports the Wall Street Journal. Set to debut in 2012, the PUMA would run on batteries, go up to 35 miles per hour, and in many ways resemble a Segway with a seat and an enclosure. GM’s research chief said he expected it to cost one-third to one-fourth the price of a traditional vehicle.
