Toyota Winglet

Toyota surprises us again. It has come up with this beautiful and gladden the eye vertical, mechanized scooter intended to help us to move about in public areas.



The scooter is called the Winglet because of its fleet nature, it is the first gadget to duplicate the celebrated, and often mocked, navigation system of Dean Kamen's Segway Transporter: self-balancing through gyroscopic sensors detecting the gentle directional tilts of a rider.

The newest model can go up to 12.5 miles per hour (versus the Winglet's 3.7 MPH), and the slightness of the Winglet's frame probably wouldn't survive a Police chase.
