Smart cars are already too big!

This new invention falls under the "is this for real...?" category:

As if the smart car was already too big...

Check out the latest "Puma" car, an invention from GM and Segway...

The self-balancing Personal Urban Mobility and Accessibility Project (P.U.M.A.) can reach top speeds of 35 MPH, has a lithium battery that lasts up to 35 miles with a single charge, and features vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication for potentially reducing the number of accidents. No word on when or if this'll actually go into production but it's expected to be priced at just 25% that of a regular automobile.

So if the average car costs $25,000 then this would come in at around $6,520. How is this any different than driving a golf cart? I'd rather have the golf cart...which in retirement communities they drive around town and to the store anyway...

If you're brewing over your own design for the latest personal transportation solution, be sure to get started on your patent. Get started for free with a reputable company like:

I think this is very cool!! I've ridden the original Sedgway and liked it. This would be a comfortable alternative (especially for the balance challenged. I think this is much cooler than a golf cart and doesn't signify old age.

I think a collision with a bike would kill you in this. I'll stick with something a little safer.
