U3-X Personal Mobility Prototype Vehicle From Honda

This thing is really amazing and so much more compact than the Segway.

Amazing it is, but if those two keep using it, they'll end up needing the bariatric model.

Wonder how that would work with someone my size and with my "butt size"? Interesting that there toes were nearly always just off the floor. Wonder how it might do on carpets or over a bump, such as a door sill?

Or down a flight of stairs by accident! Hope it has a cliff sensor like my iRobot does It doesn't look very comfortable or easy to maneuver, but it's an interesting concept. I agree with Dr G though, I don't think they make them for my butt size

I'm not sure it would work well on the rough-hewn stone floor of your anti-science cave

You choose not to believe in God and call him a flying spaghetti monster. I choose to call your science views suspect. Perhaps they too are merely tangled like spaghetti? Seems a fair trade to me.

As I've tried to explain, I do not have the luxury of choosing my beliefs. I'm am forced to believe by evidence and logic. Where evidence and/or logic are lacking, so is my belief.
