After failing in its first attempt to popularize two-wheeled transportation in large urban areas,Segway has partnered with General Motors (GM) to introduce a new concept car. According to Wired, the Electric Networked Vehicles, or EN-Vs, will be revealed to the public at the World Expo 2010 this May in Shanghai. The two-wheeled cars have a carbon-fiber shell and can run at about 25 mph, on a single charge, for about 25 miles. Although the EN-V is currently in the concept phase, what really makes it unique is its ability to communicate with other vehicles around it. Also, every EN-V has a GPS device housed inside and features an adaptive cruise control, meaning that you could practically sit back and relax during the morning commute. Able to seat two passengers, it's about one-sixth the size of a conventional car, and weighs only 1,000 pounds.
