YikeBike: The world's first super light electric folding bike.

They haven't quite solved the I-must-look-like-a-dork problem, but this is a few steps in the right direction. Price is obviously an issue, and while I'm willing to bet that goes away if anything like this ever achieves scale, it's possibly instructive to note that Segway never did. Dorkosity, demand and price are inherently linked for things like this.

YouTube: AIDA Affective Intelligent Driving Agent

Nothing earthshaking here, but a nice roundup of all of the sensors and sources involved in plotting optimal routes. IMO, this stuff will come into its own not when embedded in a privately-owned vehicle, but when adaptive to & portable between all the different contexts of a transmodal mobility system. Also: ROBOT MUST DIE. I *hate* cutesy anthropomorphic interfaces with a scarcely-conceivable passion.

I'm very much encouraged by the advent of community initiatives like this ("The Car Is Here For You To Use"?), but a little distressed that we're still talking about *cars*. Crawford, it seems, has had an impact on me.
