It's cool
I rode it, and it is very impressive technology. The only "control" used for actual operation is the steering which is done by twisting the left hand grip. To go forward or back up, you just lean in the direction you want to go, or away from the direction you want to quit going. To steer, you twist the left grip, counterclockwise to turn left, and clockwise to turn right. It is very intuitive and easy to get used to. Also, the machine is very quiet, unlike some of our robots.
While time will tell how successful Segway will be commercially, the technology is impressive in every way.
