First Transponder For Commercial Use

The GM PUMA is going to be equipped with a transponder, to help the PUMA behave like a pedestrian in busy street. The transponder will allow the puma to automatically sense other objects that may cause collisions
“What we want to do is have people have the freedom to go where they want when they want in the city without all of the side effects we've experienced over the years” said GMs vice president of research, development and strategies planning, Larry Burns.
Also reported by Christopher Borroni-Bird, Gm’s director of advanced technology vehicle concepts, that the puma will turn the daily commute into a more useful and enjoyable time by having a geo-positioning system to enable the PUMA to travel at a speed of 16 MPH without driver input.
That’s right the Jetson’s era might just be around the corner.
