GM's car of the future only has two wheels - CTV News

It looks like a

car to me.

**sequoias** · 03-28-2010, 11:38 AM

Weird looking car there. I don't like personal transit stuff.

Frisky Feline · 03-28-2010, 11:40 AM

Too bad that my kids won't fit it with me.

diehardbiker · 03-28-2010, 11:48 AM

yike! not for me 4 sure!

I rather riding motorcycle over this!

**Bottesini** · 03-28-2010, 11:51 AM

I wouldn't want to be on the street in that unless everyone else had the same car. I think any accident would have a high chance of fatality.

LOL if everyone else had the same car then we could have walked instead of driving the tiny car.

Might as well walk. It would be healthier and that car won't go too far until recharge.

So you may end up pushing it home!

They are going to be built for use on sidewalks only, right? hehe

With the gas money saved, all the problems in the health care threads can be solved too!

But first, we must have healthy foods, foods like in the 50's!

A near impossibility in this country but there's those of us who can do it if we put our minds to it!

Frisky Feline · 03-28-2010, 01:46 PM

I wonder what did 1950's food look like? Bet these foods were so fresh!

Yeah.. But you seen the Smart cars? Wreck one of them, and it bounces everywhere like a rubber ball. Driver will be shaken but most than likely OK.

However, get it stuck between two semis, toast.

Easy. Serious. I don't know why it's an "near impossibility"...

Have you rode a Segway?

This Segway can go up a snowy mountain, dirt trails through the trees. go up 20% incline with ease. It goes about 12-20 mph or so.

Same idea. However the car will be topping off at 40 kmph. That is like 65 mph or so, not sure.

I have seen the Smart cars. But I didn't know about its bouncing. My worries would be how lightweight and easy to slide into the path of something big in the snow.

Not always. There was transportation logistics that had to be worked out. You stocked up on sugar, flour once a year. I am sure the produce wasn't that fresh in the winter.

They're everywhere in this town. Some of the drivers aren't quite so smart. How can you double park a smart car? Apparently some drivers here figured that out.

That is backwards. 40 kph is 25mph.

**TXgolfer** · 03-28-2010, 05:58 PM

Should GM really be planning FUTURE cars????

**Jiro** · 03-28-2010, 06:42 PM

every cars out there have specific function for specific scenario. SMART car is really designed for those living in major metropolitan. it's not really good idea to take it out on interstate highway.

I meant a near impossibility for the knowledge and skills of most people today because they have been led astray and away from the old knowledge/skjills.
