| 775360 | 2009-05-20 02:40:00 | GM Says "No problem" For New Drone in Meeting Emissions/Fuel Standards By: Scott Ott Examiner Columnist | 5/18/09 6:23 PM News fairly unbalanced . We report . You decipher General Motors, part of the automaking division of the U . S . government, today announced it would have no problem meeting or surpassing the Obama administration's stricter emissions and mileage standards, thanks to a new gas-stingy model for 2010 called the GM Drone UTV . The new rules, designed to bring the whole continental United States into compliance with planet-friendly standards in neighboring California, will make American cars 30 percent cleaner, more fuel efficient and less ubiquitous by the year 2016 . An unnamed General Motors spokesman said the greenhouse-gas curbing regulations come just as GM ramps up production after a slight financial incentive that points the way to making and selling of the Drone -- a stylish, no-passenger, hatchback, maneuvered by remote-control from the owner's living room using a simple computer keyboard and mouse . (UTV stands for Unmanned Terrestrial Vehicle . ) "The problem with making fuel-efficient, eco-friendly cars has been what we in the industry call 'the human factor'," said the GM source . "People are soft, generally obese, and fussy about their own comfort . But if you remove humans from the vehicle, then you don't need all that heavy material to support, protect, coddle and carry them . As a result, we can make a driverless drone that weighs about 112 pounds, gets more than 100 miles to the gallon, and emits exhaust that smells like rose petals . " The company says the GM Drone is great for those quick trips to the McDonald's drive-through, or to any business that will put products in your car for you . The remote-open hatchback offers enough cargo space for a large pizza, and a 2-liter bottle of soda . A promotional video, screened for investors in Congress, says, "What better way to see America than from the air-conditioned comfort of your couch at home, as the advanced GPS navigation unit takes your little Drone from coast to coast hands-free, all the while beaming back live video to your delighted family . " "Thanks to the internet," the narrator adds, "there's virtually no reason to leave home anyway . " Since GM and Chrysler are now owned (p0wned) by the US Government of Obama, it's only fitting that certain "incentives" to comply with Mr . Obama's requests have come into a new light . "Obama-mobiles" are expected to hit the showrooms in 2016 or just in time for his third re-election . "Water-walking and feeding great crowds of people with two bagels and a frozen package of fish sticks - are easy", according to spin-aides at the White House . "Now comes the hard part - getting the common people out of the gas eaters and greenhouse makers which they don't deserve as much as I do . " |
