Some Stanford graduate students have created a concept vehicle that may see some large-scale production and distribution. It's called the WENG, which stands for Where Everyone Needs to Go, and it's a four-seater, golf-cart like vehicle with some design-y elements meant for short trips near home. As one of the team members, John Stanfield, says, "Why are people driving 4 to 6,000-pound internal combustion cars to the grocery store?"
The prototype has a 20-mile range on one charge, and they expect that a production model would have about a 50-mile range.
The steering mechanism, as one of the developers explains, was loosely based on Mario Cart. Watch ABC 7's report below.
