Default One wheel concept

This hydrogen fuel cell powered, gyroscopically balanced, one-wheeled recreational and commuting vehicle provides an extraordinary vision of the kind of personal transport we could be using 20 years from now.

Well I don't mind driving down the road at 60 mph and relying on a computer in my car or truck, because if it fails you pull to the side of the road. But on that thing you would slam backwards or forward if the computer failed. And remember when the Segway first became popular? There were several hundred people taken to the hospital because the gyroscope failedand that was only going 5 or 10 mph........no thanks.
