I predicted Segway robots in the mid-1990s. I hadn't appreciated this prediction lark (for Segways) went back 100 years! Just think of the difference in history if the electric car (which were available back then) (and segways) caught on rather than the dreaded gasoline mobiles...

Lovely old-styled picture. It really reminds Footomobiles.

Ironically, considering how popular Metal Scooters and Skateboards have become with this latest generation - if not for the ubiquitous big city vehicular traffic and crowded sidewalks - something like this just might have taken off recently
