Modern Bubble Car runs electric at car show


No driver required: The future electric wonder car that beats traffic congestion and parks itself

Car designers have come up with the perfect solution for all those motorists tired of traffic jams and lack of parking spaces. 
The two-seat EN-V (Electric-Networked Vehicle) is designed to alleviate those common driver concerns - as well as address environmental issues, energy consumption and affordability. 
And amazingly you don't even need to be in the driving seat to achieve all this.

Compact, environmentally-friendly and drives itself: The EN-V runs on battery power for about 25 miles on a charge, with top speeds of 25 miles-per-hour
The EN-V from General Motors can rotate 360 degrees and be driven in manual mode with a driver - or without.

There is no timeframe yet for when the EN-V will be on the market.
