Rick Wagoner, General Motor's chairman and CEO, will introduce a new fuel-cell concept crossover vehicle--the Cadillac Provoq--at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas today. GM has been
pushing energy diversity since it unveiled its Chevrolet Volt range-extended electric vehicle last year.
Wagoner is expected to expand upon that vision by showing another version of
the Volt's propulsion system in the Cadillac concept and talking about how the kind of connectivity made possible by consumer electronics can advance safety and fuel economy.
Beyond
those issues, GM is working toward a time when people won't have to allot time to park their cars, because they can find a spot and park themselves after dropping passengers at the door. The necessary
technologies are either already available or will be by 2015 with minimal changes to roadways, according to Larry Burns, GM's vp of research, development and strategic planning.
