P.U.M.A. counteroffensives! Take the villagers!

General Motors (GM) developed in cooperation with the Segway in PUMA the official opening last night, and the main station at the site editor is not only, but also a lot of trial in person, on the characteristics of PUMA, the following key sections:

Although PUMA is based on the Segway to build, but the mass production version of the future, and that they would not use the Segway(such as the steering wheel to move forward tilt) approach to the operation, but the normal one point, there are acceleration, deceleration for a class can use the keys.

In addition GM plans to contribute in the PUMA part of the main road is their home security systems, in addition to vehicle communication system between each other (with GPS-based), but also detect pedestrians on the road between (or by driving in this area good visual!); the communications system will be installed this fall in the real vehicle testing.

As for housing areas, GM is to make that very fashion, class library reference for the design of .

PUMA design is to a bicycle above Road traffic, which is also its biggest obstacle to a large number of listed, after all, the United States now have such public facilities are not many cities, it is more suitable for the European market.

With regard to trial experience?

While GM has been playing some editing, but to drive or GM employees.

The main front-wheel design is safe (not just two big wheels, the car should be staggered), before driving away will be very elegant, the main power source or two big Segway; rear features still mysterious.

Driver / passenger seat part, I feel the following things with some separation, though a bit strange, but not for passengers to feel uncomfortable.

PUMA inherited as a result of their own self-balancing Segway, the characteristics of moving forward, in the acceleration of the process of deceleration with the car in the general feeling of comfort compared to a little bit.

Feeling really good driving, as the key to, I am afraid the price would have to see when the drift is not pretty Hello! Jump after the trial videos.
