mobility

have u ever wondered bout the future of human transport? human mobility? automobile makers and many different companies have tried various ways to revolutionize how people move around a compound or work area easily by different means such as buggies, trolleys, trams, or even roller blades.

a few years back, a company named segway successfully rolled out it's wonderful 2-wheel autobalancing electric vehicle to the public and received tons of orders, awards and wonderful feedbacks. they've also opened a brand new market for different businessmen to venture into.

u can see it in many places and here are a few good examples :-

1) mall


2) mexico


3) yale university


4) us


4) china


5) japan


6) jacky chan!


7) malaysia


8) tel-aviv


here's how it all looks when taken apart, cool isn't it?


don't u think it's cool to own 1 unit so u can bring it out for a ride while walking the dog? then u are really walking the dog coz onli the dog's walking :)

imagine urself goin to a mega shopping center and have one of this thingy to assist ur shopping, hold ur bags and belongings?

here are some other manufacturers working on similiar projects relating to human mobility :-
1)toyota i-real


2) puma (collaboration of segway with GM)


3) honda u3 x (the coolest and latest among all)



since technological advancements are making life much easier and better for humans like us, do u think that one day we will become like this ??



until that day, we're still relying on our feet to travel around :) since the birth of human ...

LOL
