ill bet it can do better then your POS corpse could in a 40mph crosswind!!!!!!

[roboman79]

it has a gyroscope on it.

this would be great on a enclosed motorcycle like the Monotracer,eliminating the electric mechanical retracts to hold the bike up when stopped.The future looks bright,just maybe,people will leave the big cars home when commuting,using a enclosed MM,or tiny car instead..Cleaning the air and cutting our use of oil imports is a win win for America.

its almost aware that if it turns at any point it'll drop... perhaps they have sonar for gap detection too?

[HavazikFerric]

It looks like a gyroscopical sensor and the flywheel in the center of it, so when it tilts the flywheel turns the opposite way...
