PUMA – GM & Segway plan joint accident with joint vehicle

No, they’re not building a personal mobility SUV, but General Motors and Segway, who have proved that the one thing they have in common is lack of knowledge about transportation issues, are jointly building what could best be described as “something.”

PUMA, or Personal Urban Mobility and Accessibility, will probably be as being a laughingstock as the Hillary Clinton-inspired PUMA.

Why?

If it involves GM, as a new vehicle, it will come in behind schedule. If it involves Segway, it will be overpriced. Third, a U.S.-legal version of the Tata Nano will likely be out by then.
