Pretty cool from Honda

[Philip Miller Tate]

Brilliant! I can't wait to see a street full of yuppies, blondes and  
the elderly all whizzing around carrying briefcases, boxes of primed  
mousetraps, subway sandwiches and scalding hot coffee trying to avoid  
one another. Should be hilarious. Of course, the design will have to  
evolve with the passengers. Eventually, their legs will wither away  
and the robot unicycle will need a six inch length of broomstick  
sticking out of the top to accommodate the rider who will continue to  
ride with a faraway grin...
