Deckard's donkey?
My local public transport system is the Docklands Light Railway. Although I commute by car, I use the DLR for local shopping and socialising (i.e. going to the pub and restaurants) and the service is, for the most part on time and pretty user friendly. The DLR's driverless trains are made by a company called Bombardier. Bombardier also plan to make this:
This is the Embrio and if you thought the Segway, or at least the technology behind it, was cool, you're going to love this. I admit it looks like something Deckard would use to tail replicants and has a fair way to go before it scoots off the drawing board and onto our streets but I'd certainly like to take one for a spin.

I look forward to finding out how these things work, I mean, really, can it work without a horse?
You certainly have an interesting site. I'll be back, I cruise the sites on all the rings to which I belong.
Cheers!
