Yesterday GM unveiled a trio of people pods in Shanghai. Designed to combat urban congestion, these tiny two-wheeled electric vehicles replace some of what conventional car provides with no emissions. It is cool, though a bit awkward, but any idea that rethinks the car is all right by me.
But even though I generally prefer American cars, and I’m no fan of French cars especially… I really like these little Peugeot electric pod vehicles. Called the 1001, this little pod doesn’t have wheels, but spheres, driven by eight different electric motors. It can even spin in place 360 degrees, easily navigating the congested alleys and roadways of future cities.
