EN-V space-age electric car revealed in Shanghai - Odd News | newslite.tv
A futuristic car which 'talks' to other vehicles to avoid accidents has been revealed in Shanghai.
The EN-V ('Electric Networked-Vehicle) by General Motors is a fraction of size of most cars, only has two seats and is propelled by electric motors in each of its two driving-mode wheels.While it is unlikely to excite Jeremy Clarkson, makers say the 1.5 metre by 1.5 metre car is designed to be the ultimate fuel-efficient vehicle for future cities.
EN-V is lightweight and emission-free, it can also be driven manually or navigate itself via an elaborate GPS system -- but it does only have a maximum speed of 24mph
But GM have got plenty of time to work on that, they say the car isn't likely to be on roads until 2030.
Very interested in seeing where this ends up. China needs this desperately to control carbon emissions of course how that electricity gets generated is another potential vexing problem.
