Jon, you are probably OK, that thing can not due what a PIMP MY SEGWAY can do, or could the team working on it come up with the ideas you have floating around in that head of yours.

It's OK, Your Still a Brooklyite! Always will be... No one else could be like you, even in Japan! - So your Safe.... Now the rest of us, that is a very different story!

Interesting ?
Could Toyota be the next 'Smart Motion' licensee ?

Now, that would be an achievement !

So far, I have not seen any evidence that this isn't just a design idea and a set of drawings. Does anyone have an actual photo or video of a real working machine?

It looks like a multi wheel thing.

Toyota cloning the "Q"? very disappointing.

It would operate on two wheels at walking speeds. The third wheel deploys for road speeds. More like R2D2 than Q.

Anything worth doing for 2 hours is 10 times more worthwhile if done for 20 hours.

click on the toyota's flash......and it has a much details description on i-swing
dun miss out the stage movie in the last part of the flash.....and u can see a Fantastic marketing video from toyota about it's i-swing........and u can see the real car in that part too
I saw that on TV's news report and the real car is smooth
personally, This would be a Great competitor of segway if the price is the same.......

Segway is here!
