Please go to MIT’s Media Lab website http://cities.media.mit.edu/courses/2006frames-citycar.pdf that discusses the City Car and gives images of the evolution and present look of the futuristic vehicle.

Eventually, the designers see their system being adapted to various cities.

Crowded cities in small areas, such as Boston, Massachusett,s would have City Cars that have smaller batteries and ranges than those in spread out cities such as Los Angeles, California, and Houston, Texas, which would need longer ranges and bigger batteries to accommodate longer driving times and higher speeds on interstates.

Christopher Borroni-Bird, director of the Advanced Technology Vehicle Concepts at U.S. automaker General Motors Corporation, is the corporate consultant for the MIT project.

Borroni-Bird states, "What we have is a very intriguing concept. It is certainly a very promising idea, but I don't want to say it is ready for production ... there's still a lot of work yet to take it from concept to production." [MIT Media Lab]
