Nonsense vehicle

Honda unveiled the U3-X, a strange piece of technology.

I didn’t like it, cause I really don’t see a niche for it. From the video, what I couldn’t compete with the segway, cause it is too slow. I don’t see anyone riding that thing for a mile. The great think about the segway is that it has very defined niche, that has little competition. It is made to transport a human being through distances that range from 1 to 10 miles, and that all. This thing from Honda can’t do that. I can only see people riding that thing inside a big office. Made me remember those eletric wheelchairs, that already exists for a long time. Ok, it is smaller, but you could also walk those 50m, right?
