This is going so fast, it makes one want to get out there and race them. You know how this will go: they will hit the market, guys will modify them and hop em up, try to get even a slight edge at the track. It will be the 1950s all over again, only more fun this time, and safer.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><u></u><u></u></font></span></p><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">spike</p></font></span></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(0,0,0)">Yeah, safer at the olympics, but how about on crowded streets, where they will eventually be, I predict? Will the future include robo guide robots (i.e. not necessarily in the shape of dogs)? I think that has to occur - the robots will be so much smarter, carry the person's info, street maps, etc. In an accident the robot calls the police, 911, carries the person out of danger - thousands of uses, eh?</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(0,0,0)">bill w</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div lang="EN-US" link="#0563C1" vlink="#954F72"><div class="m_-2136124221227670084WordSection1"><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u><u></u></p></font></span></div></div><br>______________________________<wbr>_________________<br>
