Urban Pod Cars

The GM EN-V Goes from Concept to Reality (UPDATE)

The only thing more peculiar than the GM EN-V’s look is why it debuted at CES 2011 rather than the Detroit Auto Show. Trend Hunter Manzil first covered the GM EN-V in March of 2010. At that time it was nothing more than a cool concept with an even cooler name.

The GM EN-V has successfully made the transition from concept to reality, keeping most of its cool technology intact. The EN-V is a two-wheel pod car that can park and drive short distances autonomously. The GM EN-V can also drive itself to your exact GPS location if you ever forget where you park. The future truly is here.
