Honda Riding Assist - CES 2017

In a global debut at CES, Honda unveiled its Riding Assist technology, which leverages Honda’s robotics technology to create a self-balancing motorcycle that greatly reduces the possibility of falling over while the motorcycle is at rest.

Actually... that's a great idea. Why not?

I've never considered this angle, but it is kind of genius. If self driving cars are safe enough to carry a person, why not solo? Go the to grocery store website, order your milk. There are three options. Pickup, Delivery, or Auto-Pickup. If you registered your self driving car with the service, you can click a button to confirm, "Send car for pickup."

Wow... I might live to see that.

Now you can send it to the store and get milk while you are posting comments on the sift.

I'm willing to bet most (by number) insurance claims involving motorcycles are the result of dropping them, so that could be a pretty useful thing. I dunno about the part where they transmuted the soul of a horse into it, but the self-balancing is pretty cool.

It will be a boon to those with hip or knee injuries who don't want to take the balancing weight at intersections and aren't ready to buy a trike yet.

I'd like to see the gyro setup in this.

Wow, I never even heard a more "American" idea! ;-)
How about the store having ONE car/bike that delivers ordered goods to all of its customers or a special service (let's call it a courier service) that will pick up goods from multiple stores and delivers them to all customers?
