Sittin' pretty in Toyota's Joint Vehicle

Thank god this thing was just the product of a recent Toyota design-engineers' competition, because if they were actually planning on selling these Joint Vehicles we might have to have another Japanese freakout. Anyway, apparently the JV can travel in any direction (duh) by changing those crazy arms' positions and how the half-sphere tires make contact with the ground. But if you think this is the personal transporter of the future, think again. That's the
Segway, remember?
