General Motors and its Chinese partner SAIC debuted the "Electric Networked-Vehicle" last month at the Shanghai Expo. The tiny urban vehicle, designed for the Chinese market, has two wheels, two seats and no trunk. Five can fit in the parking space needed for one conventional vehicle. The vehicle also would offer drivers the option of "autonomous driving:" letting the car drive itself via an elaborate system of GPS systems, digital maps, roadway and vehicle sensors, cameras and other devices.
