You may find the book Code Name Ginger very interesting, as it goes in-depth (without getting too technical) into the creation of the Segway, and many of the engineering and programming problems and issues that had to be solved to make Segways as safe and efficient as they are. I happened to come across it in a local bookstore a few years ago and I bought it on the spot without hesitation.
