Re: the segway just got a whole lot cooler

Leave it to Mr. Kamen to squish the SMART car concept even smaller. Looks pretty awesome for urban environments. There would need to be a cultural adjustment before they can be used though; drivers are already fairly complacent about bikers on the road. It seems like anything that's small and slower than a 'normal' car is likely to get run off the road.
