I think you are safe, Pete. Who would want to steal one? (Actually, I rather liked how it went around corners. I'm just worried that a: it rains a lot in England/Ireland and b: you probably need to wear a crash-helmet in that thing. And full leathers. And where do you put your bike bitch*?) * Apologies for the crude language... apparently that is what they call themselves in various biker gangs.
cheers, Paul M. Watson.

I thought you were referring to a lady dog. I assume you'd want to put it in the lady bag - after all, that's gotta be the target audience for this.

Need to - yes. On a diet - yes. Going to the gym and playing squash regularly - yes.

Never. You can never have too much. There's no such thing.

It has space for a bag? Crikey, I missed that bit. Seriously. The thing is meant for around town but where can you put even one bag of shopping?
cheers, Paul M. Watson.

If they manufacture enough of them it wouldn't matter. They'd be everywhere then you could just grab any nearby available one. :)

Would you have to wipe it down after the way you do when you've used a piece of equipment in the gym? I'd hate to follow the sweaty arsed BO scumbucket.

You can't be in that bad a shape playing squash.
I came to the game late. I had 20 years of food and drink abuse to undo.

Sorry, it looks like an upright Sinclair C5 to be perfectly honest.

I wonder if Buy n Large will sell them.

Totally impractical concept car/transporter only - the design has so many drawbacks it would never sell outside Japan - who would sacrifice all their man points to be seen in one of these things. Better to be seen on a segway, and how popular are they.

Was the Segway just not Japanese enough?

I think someone's seen the Wall-E movie. This is a total waste of time, money and resources. Take death off the roads and bring it to the pavements!
Remember, nobody ever lends money to a man with a sense of humour!

"The robotics technology in the car will also work to remind you if you’re running late to class, or give you fashion advice." I have this feature already in my Fiat Coupe. Its called 'Wife'. (Other than that this 'car' looks like an invalid carriage, AKA 'spaz carriot'. )

We have a local outdoor mall[^] that uses them for their security personnel.

They call this a "car"? Looks more like a cool wheelchair or even a senior citizen assisted device. If they place a rack on the back, the owner can pack groceries with them. It would be great on the golf course; you can have your own cart. If it is a car, how well will it do on the freeways of the US. Try it on the autobahns of Germany. It might be safer to keep it in the nursing homes. Unlike the Segway, you get to sit down. Less strain on the legs.
