Toyota's i-swing updates their concept of a
personal mobility vehicle. It can travel in either
two-wheel (Segway) mode when traversing a
busy sidewalk or "swing" into three-wheel mode for some good ol' fashioned street racing. The i-swing has joystick
control or can turn in response to body movement as if "you were on skis." As part of the proposed concept, the i-swing would use artificial
intelligence to enable it "to grow, learning the habits and preferences of users" and then presumably replacing us all
Bridget Fonda SWF-like.
"Cyclops, this is Professor X, fetch me my chair and lets go help Wolverine. He is shitting adamantium again."
Willy Wonka's want's his wheelchair back.
It's like Captain Pike's Mid-Life Crisis Mobile.
OMG My Head!! It's SUCKING MY HEAD!!!!
Ahahaha! You're kidding right?
The pic from the rear..teehee...looks like a large oriental woman with long hair, one of those rice patty hats and a large blue rump.
"No thanks I'm taking my Vietnamese rice patty worker scooter today."
Am I the only one seeing this?
I only have one thing to say:
Roujin Z...
bwahahaha! bill, you're absolutely right. imagine when you're on it. it'll look like you're riding on her back! or givin it to her from the back. the visual alone is killin me!
Bill and Jay, too bad you're both dumbasses and cannot tell that what you're describing is the front view and not the rear view. tee hee hee.
I think I saw the dancers using things similar to these at the Toyota pavilion at the Aichi World Expo. They had a total of 8 or so that spun and moved in formation with actors/dancers jumping on and off of them. They were also blinged out with more neon/fiber optics ish than the cars in Fast and Furious. It was kind of cool that they had some sort of robo walker thing too. (And thus begins the age of Robotech/Macross/Gundam power armor battle bot suits, lol) Check the link for some pics.

hey, uchiha. what gives? we're just having fun, not trying to offend anyone. if you're a vietnamese rice patty worker, i apologize. and thanks for the clarification of the front view versus the rear view. now it'll look like she's giving head to whoever's riding! "tee hee hee"
the thing at the Toyota Group Pavilion in Aichi was the i-unit, 4wheeled version ;)
