GM's EN-V: Car of the Future?
March 24, 2010 2:59 PM
General Motors has unveiled a car concept which they are calling the "automobile solution."
The Electric Networked-Vehicle (EN-V) will be showcased in combination with SAI, it's Chinese partner, on May 1st at the Shanghai Expo.
The EN-V (pronounced "envy") goes far beyond making cars smaller and lightweight, instead it offers a complete change to the image of the "automobile."
In an intense effort to combat smog, traffic-congestion, and accidents throughout China, the EN-V is economically friendly and only reaches 24 mph. Although this may seem very limited, the average road speed in China is only 12 mph due to traffic anyways.
However, the most stunning aspect of this car is its ability to drive itself. With a combination of GPS systems, maps, sensors, and cameras, this automobile can completely navigate you to your destination.
This is just a highlight of what GM has up its sleeve for the future.
