They really have far bigger problems to solve than their PR image and this is nothing but a cheap attempt at that. This is about as clumsy a device as I have ever seen for human mobility. A 2-seater tri-wheel scooter would be a more realistic product if GM was so concerned about city congestion. This shows us one reason why GM vehicles suck so much compared to its foreign competitors like Toyota. Its best engineers waste their time on ultra niche products like this and the Corvette, while Toyota has its best engineers working on the Camry. Is this really what GM should be doing?

Need to greatly increase the distance that it can go between charges and solar would help a lot. Something like this should have happened long ago - except that it took an economic meltdown to force the auto industry to think about change. Look for Big Oil to fight this every step of the way. GO SEGWAY! LOVE this idea. I hope it takes off, and soon! But please add solar power charging (while running).
