![Futuristic Bubble Car Takes Us for a Ride at CES [VIDEO]](https://helios-i.mashable.com/imagery/archives/06moth3OxyL2XU3XgDbbQTd/hero-image.fill.size_1248x702.v1647019443.jpg)
Ride along with us inside GM's EN-V (Electric Networked Vehicle), a tiny two-seater with a 40-mile range that whisked us around a hotel ballroom in smooth, quiet comfort.
The little two-seater, employing the same balancing-act technology as the Segway scooter, sheds the two-wheeled scooter's nerdy Mall Cop image for a Pac-Man-esque bubble design.
It was a hoot to take this egg-shaped hotrod for a spin inside a controlled environment, but we're not quite sure how it would do on the mean streets of the real world — say, pitted against a giant SUV.
But so what? Maybe the future this precocious car occupies doesn't include SUVs.
That said, it gets even more sci-fi: The EN-V has an autonomous mode, where you can sit back, texting and enjoying your morning coffee while its GPS-driven navi system takes care of the driving for you. Sounds great, but GM wasn't demonstrating that feature to us quite yet. We'll believe that when we see it.
