We just brought you the first word of GM’s new two-seat Segway prototype, the PUMA. However, the “Today Show” scooped everyone with a first drive of the vehicle earlier this morning.

Matt Lauer talks up a GM executive while Meredith Viera does her best to not get sick as she’s driven about in the nimble PUMA.

Some tidbits we learned from the segment — video below — is that this is a true prototype, and they might build in more safety features and make an enclosed version for winter weather.
