i think this is interesting although i don't think many people are waiting for something like this.... than again the segway is an interesting vehicle...

with a little imagination this could become a smart on two wheels (and in the actual concept sketches the cabin is fully enclosed... this is just a test vehicle)

with a little more imagination one could imagine i normal sized car with only two wheels in the middle that handles just like a car today, but car turn on the spot...

the less wheels you have on the ground the more creative you can be with the overall shape of a car,... how about a trike that lifts its rear wheel of the ground at speed (prehaps aided by an airfoil)... to produce better aero and less rolling resistance... or a for wheeled car that can split in two two seaters

or car sized motorcycle..

the first car's where little more han some wheels with an engine, a seat or two, and some sort of handle thing to steer... but look where they are now...

sometimes starting from scratch is the only way to get a real revolution
