After the runaway success (heh) of the Segway personal transporter, GM has partnered with Dean Kamen to bring us the Segway car. It has a lithium-ion battery, a range of ~55 km and a top speed of ~55 km/h. I won’t say it is good looking (because the video below will prove me wrong anyway) but it is compact, plus it has two sets of small wheels to cushion your fall if the Amazing AlgorithmsTM fail when you hit a speed bump or a pothole. It looks like a prototype, the final version will hopefully be fully enclosed to keep the elements out.
The website contains a lot of info but not much about the price. Given the history of Segway, they are probably just trying to spare us the shock. [Link]
