At just 7.6 feet long and 4 feet wide, the minimalist Renault Twizy is a vehicle you probably won't see on American roads anytime soon.

However, we will probably start to vehicles with a similarly small footprint by the end of the decade. The +General Motors EN-V http://www.youtube.com/user/generalmotorsenv?ob=0 is likely to evolve from the two-wheeled Segway-based balancing vehicles first shown two years ago in Shanghai to something more like this. These tiny electric commuters obviously can't meet everyone's needs, but they could certainly do the trick in crowded urban centers especially when combined with autonomous capabilities that allow them to park themselves and be summoned by smartphone when needed.
