A demonstration of current uses is going to be very limited - it's in prototype form currently. Once it is on the open market, there are going to be tons of things to do with it because developers as a community can have a go at it.I'm not sure what you mean about another Segway. If you mean a widely used device that has technology embedded which has great potential beyond the pilot application (the dual-wheel person mover), then I can understand. That's not what I'm getting from your context.I do work in DC and major airports, and Segways are a huge hit with law-enforcement and commuters/tourists. You can even rent Segways for your family in DC to tool around to all the sites. I see roving bands of out-of-town families in DC-Branded Segways zipping between monuments and museums all the time. The base of their design was to show off the Auto-balancing technology, which has many other commercial applications - I just don't want to hijack the thread even more. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
