GMC Pad - a response to long commutes and high housing prices

Thinking out of the box or just moving it? Instead of moving the commuter to work, move the commuter AND his home to work. Autoblog reports that General Motors' GMC Pad , winner of the California Design Challenge, is an "urban loft with mobility, or a modern alternative for those priced out of Southern California’s escalating housing market.” Talk about taking your work home with you. The Pad is "where you live, where you work, or merely where you want to be. Whether located in walking distance from your job @ TBWA\Chiat\Day, spending a couple evenings along PCH, or wintering at Mammoth, with the GMC PAD, home is where you want it. And commuting is what other people do." With the PAD, your LA Adventure is your next stop. It’s where you live, where you work, or merely where you want to be. Whether located in walking distance from your job @ TBWA\Chiat\Day, spending a couple evenings along PCH, or wintering at Mammoth, with the GMC PAD, home is where you want it. And commuting is what other people do."

Looks like the solution is to throw everything AND the kitchen sink at improving the commute. "The Pad also features onboard fuel and water supplies that can last weeks or even months thanks to onboard resource management technology, and while you’re waiting for the water to run out you have Direct TV, OnStar, XM, and Satellite Wi-Fi to keep you company."

Will the Pad qualify for Household Only Vehicle lanes?
