In those first days after going public with his new device, he was like all inventors - a dreamer who could not help himself. If widely adopted, the Segway would lead to urban redesign and renewal, Kamen said. His boldest claim came when he predicted in Time that the Segway "will be to the car what the car was to the horse and buggy."
Please provide link to the quote you are citing. Notice that he did say "If widely adopted,..." It's a pretty good article, worth a read 11 years later.
