"GoCar Rentals, located on Hyde Street near Fisherman's Wharf, rents three- wheeled, two-passenger vehicles that look like a combination motorcycle and golf cart.

But what sets GoCar Rentals apart is the its use of the Global Positioning System (GPS), which gives cues for an onboard computer to play recorded information when the vehicle rolls by a historical landmark like the Cannery, Fort Mason or the windmills in Golden Gate Park.

The car also lets the driver know it's time to turn left or right or if the vehicle is in the wrong lane.

"Tourists can throw away the map and get about without getting lost,"

The vehicles are controlled with a motorcycle-style handle, throttle and hand brakes. Because the car is so small, both driver and passenger have to wear safety helmets and sign a waiver acknowledging that driving it is risky. Because it has three wheels, it can be driven by anyone with a regular Class C driver's license.

The computer is programmed to direct driver and passenger on a two-hour loop around the Fisherman's Wharf area, out to the Marina District through Golden Gate Park and eventually down that part of Lombard known as the "crookedest street in the world."

Along the way, the computer plays recorded messages giving riders information, such as the fact that they are driving in the neighborhood of comedian Robin Williams or that liquefaction caused damage in the Marina District during the 1989 Loma Prieta quake, or that Lombard isn't even the crookedest street in San Francisco.

The tour takes about two hours, but the computer program also suggests other places that extend the trip.."
