Photos: GM, Segway purr about PUMA

The PUMA prototype is designed to work much like the original Segway Personal Transporter, balancing on two wheels and stabilized (or not) by the rider's body motion. It features electric drive and batteries, along with all-electronic acceleration, steering, and braking. This one's tooling around in Brooklyn.
