The compact sized vehicle, which runs on lithium-ion batteries, enables the passenger to move among other people in an upright position in low speed mode, while the vehicle reclines in high speed mode to lower the centre of gravity and ensure stable handling, the company said.

Toyota unveiled several other far-out concepts, including the "i-foot." The two-legged i-foot, operated by a rider mounted on a seat with a joystick, is being developed by the top Japanese automaker, aiming at helping people get around by three-dimentional mobility including stepping up and down the stairs. The new vehicle will be displayed at an exposition in Aichi, central Japan, next year. (AP Photo/Shuji Kajiyama)

I just can't wait until the i-foot speaks...
"Drop your weapons. You have twenty seconds to comply". (simulated BG drops weapon)...
