Come On, I Lean

No Midnight Runners For Segway Owners

Segway manufacturers are leaning towards safety, with the weekend recall of about 23,500 of the urban scooters. Seems the problem is software-related. The scooters, controlled not by a steering mechanism but by the rider leaning one way or the other, have been bedevilled by sudden changes in direction. The recall is laudable, but we're guessing it was a decision made by the, er, steering committee.
