PUMA: Why GM Deserves to go Bankrupt

Behold the P.U.M.A., or the Personal Urban Mobility and Accessibility Project. Laughably ridiculous, GM and Segway has just announced their collaboration of a souped-up wheelchair that can go 35 MPH, pumped by a lithium battery.

Yes, folks, this is their idea of innovation. We’d rather have an electric tuk tuk any day. No word on whether this will make it into production, but sadly we’re pretty sure some of that federal bail out money (from you and I) is going into this thing. We knew the people at Segway were a little odd, but GM, how did you get us involved in this mess?  Either way, we can confidently say its dead on arrival.
