GoCar is the world's first computer-guided storytelling car. The clever talking car navigates for you, but that's not all. As you drive, it points out the sights and tells you the stories that bring San Francisco to life.

You can stop along the way. You set your own pace. The car always knows where you are and you can park anywhere you want (motorcycle parking or car parking) for as long as you want, and as soon as you start to drive again, the car will begin to talk!

You don't have to stay on the guided tour. If there is a San Francisco sight you wish to see but is not yet included on the tour, just use the map they provide to navigate your own way through the city streets. You can even put a CD in the stereo and enjoy music along the way!

The GoCar will do 35-mph. Cars are approved for use on city streets, but not the bridges or freeways.

The 3-wheeled cars seat two and have a lockable trunk for your things. Their small size makes parking a breeze, and in San Francisco, that's a major bonus. They can even be parked in motorcycle parking.

His original idea and the company's entrepreneurial spark have set off a firestorm of media attention. GoCar's most recent honor has been its nomination for "Invention of the Year" by Time Magazine.
