The Prescient Mr. Quarter

By Mr. Quarter

Amazing! He does it again! Is Mr. Quarter endowed with the gift of knowing the future? On March 23, prior to The Deuce's pondering, I lamented in this space about the need to change the paradigm for ground transport vehicles. Yesterday, in the Wall Street Journal, GM announced a partnership with Segway to produce a new kind of ground transport vehicle. A sort of hybrid between the Segway scooter and a car. Capable of traveling up to 35 miles, with a top speed of 35 mph, this vehicle will not be a rectangular platform with a wheel at each corner. It will be a rectangular platform with a wheel at each end! Inchworm-like, we make progress forward.
