NEW YORK — A solution to urban transportation issues could ride on two wheels instead of four, say executives for General Motors and Segway. They announced a joint project Tuesday on a two- wheeled, two-seat electric vehicle to be a fast, safe, inexpensive and clean alternative to cars and trucks across the world.
The Personal Urban Mobility and Accessibility plan (PUMA) involves a vast communications network to help vehicles interact, regulate traffic flow and prevent crashes.
“We’re excited about doing more with less,” said Jim Norrod, chief executive of Segway, based in Bedford, N.H. “Less emissions, less dependability on foreign oil and less space.” The Associated Press
