Huh...
..."The bike can immediately change direction to move perpendicular to the previous path of travel,"...
Of course,.. when it does,.. the rider will not...  They forgot about inertia..
Huh...

It's a University project. It has some pretty cool technology involved but I don't see them becoming a usable item. Perhaps some of the stuff they learn from it will be though.

I kinda liked the flippety-floppety gyroscopic wheels in the recent Dark Knight movies.  Of course that's just fantasy but that often seems to be how we visualize what tomorrow's technology might look like.
