Default Move over "Moovie"

In this months issue of Popular Science Magazine they have a special Section on Future Cars, Green Gars. It starts on page 48 and features the much talked about Tesla, The Smart car, the Javlelin Speedsled, the Extender, Nomad Roadtrain, and the SNAP . The SNAP looks very similar to the Puegeot "Moovie".

Looks like segway has been tinkering with their own version of the "Moovie" called the S N A P. At least the credits for the last four vehicles including the SNAP are from designers and engineers form BMW, Lotus, Audi, Ford, GM, Jaguar,The Acadamy of Art University's School od Industrial Design and the College for Creative Studies, and SEGWAY. The SNAP was designed and illustrated by Nick Kaloterakis. Although it doesnt mention Segway anywhere else in the article it does mention theat the SNAP pods balance with the help of accelerometers and gyroscopics sensors that detect instabilities and instantly adjust the relative speed of each wheel to keep you upright. Hummm, sounds just like what a Segway does. I will edit this post to include pics of the SNAP from Pop Sci as I find them. And the "Moovie"
