The Segway (formerly “IT”) was touted as the next big consideration in city planning, with corporate backers suggesting that it was a guaranteed success. With preorders on Amazon.com with a rather hefty pricetag, however, the one-man-vehicle isn’t getting as much fanfare as it used to.
In fact, the only major news about the pollution-less, gyroscopic device is that it may not even be allowed to exist, at least by certain municipalities. Indeed, San Francisco has decided to keep the Segway off its streets, citing potential danger to pedestrians, no doubt from a possible impact with the heavy, 12mph-moving device.
To inventor Dean Kamen, I propose this: Demo your invention with local Scientologists, make a deal, and soon your invention will take California by storm, starting with Hollywood. Tell them Xenu sent you.
