GM's CEO Wants Us to Drive These

The scary headline of the morning over at the freep: GM, Segway team up on two-wheeled concept vehicle. If GM's CEO, Barack Obama, has his way, will all of us be forced to drive this contraption? Here's a pic:

Isn't that quaint. From the article:

After 18 months of working together in secret, General Motors Corp.
and Segway Inc. plan to unveil today a prototype two-wheel, electric passenger
vehicle that the companies say could be a transportation solution for
increasingly overcrowded urban areas.

"From a technical prospective, this is very doable. There is nothing that needs to be invented here," said Christopher Borroni-Bird, GM director of advanced technology vehicle concepts. "The challenge, of course, is how do you begin to implement it in an existing infrastructure?"

That's easy too. You just wait until BHO points his magic wand and viola! You know, if this works out, we'll see just as many of said concept cars on the streets as we see Segways on the sidewalk...
