Interesting idea but General Motors is already doing it... GM and Segway have been doing this type of thing for the past few years..

This is genius, until a fellow named Keith decides service it himself. How well you be able to sit in your autonomobile knowing Keith is comming the other way in his self-serviced autonomobile.

It is not widely known, but a great deal of work has already been done in automatic personal transportation – including many industrial designs which have ranged from renderings to full-sized mock ups (skywebexpress.com) to fully operational test systems (vectusprt.com). And a system has been in daily service on the campus of West Virginia University for over 30 years with an outstanding record of safety and reliability. The technology is called Personal Rapid Transit in the United States, and Podcars in Sweden. A good introduction can be found at personalrapidtransit.com. The best gateway website for info on this subject is Jerry Schneider’s "Innovative Transportation Technologies": http://faculty.washington.edu/jbs/itrans/.

How much do you have to pay to get a profile like this in dwell?? I can't believe 90% of what I see here is featured based on it's merits. Or does it fly if it has a euro-dwell aesthetic, no matter how ham-headed? Congratulations, you've designed a wrapper for something you understand only as far as the Pantone color chip. It reminds me of the Simpson's episode where Marge says, "see all that stuff in there Homer? That's why your robot never worked."
