Honda playing around with Asimo's stabilization technology in a smaller form factor. Some pretty sweet stuff could come from this.

i like how the 'vehicle' can move in any direction... now if this can translate into a car, similar to the cars from iRobot that could move in all directions:

I fail to see how this is more practical than walking its cool though.

But..its not even viable for handicapped people. Im all for new technology but who is going to hop on their little Unicycle thing when they could otherwise walk. Ud have to carry it around with u too. And I bet a bicycle is faster

i think that like A LOT of inventions its more about the technological advances that could come from this. although this is cool and probably useful. its more about the technology and what can be done with it i think

Segway's market share just dropped. Now, you can sit down while your fat ass is carted around by technology.
