Take two companies whose products are sort of a joke, slap them together, and here's the result: The P.U.M.A., a sort of giant, two-person Segway that is designed for commuters, with a 35-mile range from its lithium-ion batteries. It has a top speed of 35 MPH, which is plenty for city cruising.
"A stunning survey of the latest evidence for intelligent life on Mars. Mac Tonnies brings a thoughtful, balanced and highly accessible approach to one of the most fascinating enigmas of our time."
--Herbie Brennan, author of Martian Genesis and The Atlantis Enigma
"Tonnies drops all predetermined opinions about Mars, and asks us to do the same."
--Greg Bishop, author of Project Beta
"I highly recommend the book for anyone interested in the search for extra-terrestrial artifacts, and the political intrigues that invariably accompany it."
--David Jinks, author of The Monkey and the Tetrahredron
"Mac Tonnies goes where NASA fears to tread and he goes first class."
--Peter Gersten, former Director of Citizens Against UFO Secrecy

I saw a tweet suggesting that metro rail systems could be modded to carry PUMA's across larger commutes, then users can use em to nav the local area.
Its just such a sad statement though Mac. If you haven't watched "Who Killed the Electric Car" I HIGHLY recommend you do so.
Within the context of car manufacturers field testing, fully functional, fully electric, cars and trucks in the 80's/90's only to have them destroyed because of pressures from oil companies...well, you can see why people are screaming bloody murder about this one.
The P.U.M.A is like a gigantic slap to the faces of everyone who knows, we should technically be WELL beyond this. Other car companies are doing full sized, fully electric AND air compressed sedans right now. How much more money do these pigs need to change their ways?
