Really? Even the one pictured in "Ironman" had to have the chauffeur grab onto it to keep it from leaving the scene.
I guess it won't go as far as a minipro (with an aftermarket handlebar ruining its balance) which will run away. My minipro's are unmodded and you can step off them, on level ground, and walk away without them going anywhere. Per the i2 manual:
Never let go of the PT when it is in Balance Mode because it will travel some distance on its own, give the Stick Shake Warning, then cut power to the wheels. If you let go of a PT while in Balance Mode, you risk injury to others and damage to the PT.
Risk to others and damage to the PT while it is in control? Odd thoughts from Segway the company. The handlbar is better for your feet on long rides but none of the handlbar equipped devices self balance. You have to keep hold of them or lean them against something.
