PUMA in Times Square

The lithium ion battery-powered vehicle will also feature vehicle-to-vehicle communications, plus autonomous driving and parking capabilities. "Imagine small, nimble electric vehicles that know where other moving objects are and avoid running into them," Larry Burns, GM vice president of research and development, and strategic planning, said in a statement. "Now, connect those vehicles in an Internet-like web and you can greatly enhance the ability of people to move through cities, find places to park and connect to their social and business networks."

The PUMA is supposed to reach 35 miles per hour, and travel up to 35 miles between charges.
