Itty-Bitty Concept Car for the Shanghai World Expo

 EN-V Xiao concept from General Motors

My dad sent me and email this morning that read, "How's this for design?" Thanks, Dad!

According to the MSN story he sent me:

The city car of the future will seat two people, run on electric power and communicate with other vehicles to reach a destination faster while automatically avoiding traffic tie-ups and crashes. General Motors, working with electric-scooter maker Segway, has developed three concepts tailored toward that vision of future transportation. The Electric Networked Vehicle, or EN-V, concepts go on display May 1 at the World Expo in Shanghai.
Well, it may not be quite as nerdy as a Segway, but I would certainly hate to encounter a Hummer in this car.
