quote:...The carmaker is displaying the Segway-on-steroids looking I-Unit concept at the New York International Auto Show.

The single-seat I-Unit, which rolls on four wheels, pulls itself upright for motoring slowly around on sidewalks or shopping at a grocery store, a company spokeswoman said.

But it can also fold down into a prone position and accelerate to highway speeds of about 60 mph, she said.

Check out the picture and full article at the link. I'll bet there are some people who might actually accept this vehicle in grocery stores easier than they accept segways in a grocery store - just because it "looks" more stable to them. Never mind that it is probably too big to fit down the aisles or even through the door to get in!
