Ok, thanks for the links. I went and did some searching myself. Pretty
cool vehicle i'd say, but can't GM just purchase a bunch of Tata Nanos,
rebrand the thing and sell it as is and save all that R&D and expenses to
be incurred ? It's not like GM is freakingly healthy and has tons of
cash to R&D today

The only potential advantage over in-line two wheelers is that,
supposedly, it won't fall over. This could eliminate a whole class of
injuries and attract people who are scared of bikes and motorbikes.
But people will still get seriously injured in that thing in car-
loveseat collisions.

Instead if falling over, it would fall frontwards or backwards. Still
falling over.
