Bombardier's Embrio: Sexier Segway?

Posted by timothy on from the for-modern-clowns dept.

Ridgelift writes "Articles at Wired News, Popular Science, and Forbes are covering Bombardier's Embrio. It's a single-wheeled, hydrogen fuel cell-powered, gyroscopically balanced concept vehicle. While the Segway tops out at 6 mph, the Embrio 'hits 35 mph in the learning mode alone.' Very cool -- looks like something straight out of 'Minority Report.'"

    A simple search for "Embrio" in Slashdot's older articles would tell you that this had already been covered on Nov 12th.

    You guys spend so much time looking for new things to submit, but you're not willing to take the time to see if it's already been posted.

    Quite frankly, I find that idiotic.

    No one will buy it.

    Hey, want to spend some money? I got a "pets.com" mascot I want to sell you. And this IPO I want to release for my new cream soda delivery service. Oh and some $800 office chairs. And this other thing, well, we don't know what it does, but give me some money.

    "For now though, this Embrio is still in utero --no working model yet exists."
