Skycars and Robots Riding Bikes, Oh My!

Reporting from the class of Street Tech, this is Geoffrey giving you the latest in Tech Tuesday discussions here to you.

Our top stories today:

The Moller Skycar, as mentioned by Gerald, is now being sold in limited quantities after successfully passing testing. Neiman Marcus is one of the companies selling this flying vehicle. The price tag for this very unique "car": around $3.5 million!

Also:

Japanese robots learn to ride bikes -- the link from BBC News here. The future is coming! And for some very old news relating to this, the here are some tidbits about the Segway, another item that uses gyroscope balancing technology, in this case the self-balancing two-wheeled vehicle that current U.S. President George W. Bush famously fell off in 2003.

Reporting "live", err three seconds ago now, which this now is 8:10 pm, (there's no such thing as "live" in written text) this is Geoffrey with your Tech to the Streets "minute" (... not again with the time issues).
