The Experimental PUMA

Two wheels. Counts as a motorcycle. Or does it?
The Personal Urban Mobility and Accessibility whatchamacallit goes 35 MPH and relies on electronics for much -- for balance for starters. The PUMA has accident avoidance capability. Thanks to global positioning and vehicle-to-vehicle communications, the PUMA will know where the threats are and avoid them.
Hmmmm. What else? Oh, yeah. The press release says the PUMA can not only put itself in a parking place, it can drive itself across town to get there.
OK, so maybe cruising around town in a rolling phone booth is not really a Hells Angel kind of thing. But you have to admit, it is a great concept.
