P.U.M.A.

I read an interesting article on Yahoo! Auto about GM and Segway partnering together to create a new two-wheel urban vehicle. They're calling it the P.U.M.A., which stands for Personal Urban Mobility and Accessibility. Apparently, it has a complex communications network and they will be able to interact with each other to regulate traffic and avoid collisions. It does sound interesting, but I remember when the Segway was supposed to be the "invention of the millennium" and that everyone would own one inside of five years, but that hasn't happened.

If you ask me, all you have to do is add some lasers or guns to it, and it would look like a G.I. Joe or Cobra vehicle. And for that reason, I really, really want one. It also helps that they used an acronym, because I think 90% of G.I. Joe and Cobra vehicles were made up acronyms. It also doesn't hurt that it's rolling on what looks like 20's.
