The whole point of capitalism is that bad ideas and bad companies fail–that the facilities, engineers, and tools get reused by someone with more horse sense. (I think that communism really failed because state run monopolies are never allowed to fail no matter how badly they’re run.) I have absolutely no need for a geekmobile like this one, and I think it false advertising to show a woman in the passenger seat on this.

What is this stupid obsession with Segway and their self balancing vehicle ?

Very clever technology, good for you, but it doesn’t do anything that a simpler ( and cheaper) four or three wheeled vehicle would do.
It is as absurd as a self opening ball point pen. It would still write the same way a conventional pen would. If Segway offered some performance advantage over a simpler vehicle then it might justify its enormous price tag.
