The self-balancing electric “car” is designed to transport two adults in a seated position at speeds of up to 35 mph and can travel up to 25 and 35 miles (40 - 56 km) powered by large format lithium-ion batteries on as little as $0.60 worth of electricity. The control system is based on the original Segway with dynamic balancing and drive-by-wire for acceleration, steering, and braking. It also features vehicle-to-vehicle communications, digital smart energy management and a dockable user interface that allows off-board connectivity.en gizmag.com Comment on 'GM and Segway Join forces to reinvent urban transportation' by P.E.T. http://www.gizmag.com/segway-car-project-puma/11413/#comment-58042 http://www.gizmag.com/segway-car-project-puma/11413/#comment-58042 Mon, 25 Apr 2011 11:14:02 -0500 Comment on 'GM and Segway Join forces to reinvent urban transportation' by Will, the tink http://www.gizmag.com/segway-car-project-puma/11413/#comment-36295 http://www.gizmag.com/segway-car-project-puma/11413/#comment-36295 Wed, 27 Oct 2010 18:00:17 -0500 Comment on 'GM and Segway Join forces to reinvent urban transportation' by robinyatesuk2003 http://www.gizmag.com/segway-car-project-puma/11413/#comment-4636 http://www.gizmag.com/segway-car-project-puma/11413/#comment-4636 Sun, 23 Aug 2009 03:20:39 -0500
