A new invention was unveiled this morning on Good Morning America....
"The ultra-secret invention that has kept the high-tech world abuzz for the past year is a self- balancing, motorized scooter that costs under 10 cents a day to operate and could usher in a new era of individual transport.
The machine, once code-named ``Ginger,'' but now known as the Human Transporter, could replace private cars in crowded cities or battery-powered carts on factory floors by enabling riders to zip around safely in close quarters, its developer said.
Segway Human Transporter (HT) empowers you to go farther and faster than you've ever been on foot. It is the first enhancement to personal mobility that doesn't isolate you from other pedestrians. It inspires new ideas—about urban spaces, commerce, community, and your next trip to the store. It represents what is possible when people thoughtfully approach problems from new angles, applying technology, vision, and creativity."
