Robotic Taxi Is Ready For The Streets
Designer Kubik Petr’s robo-taxi is designed for moving people. Pure and simple. It resembles a Segway with a chassis, seats two and is powered by electric motors and even has space for luggage. Sure, you would want it to hold more people, but ideally there would be a lot of these things on the streets just like normal taxis and several could come to aid large groups.

Passengers select where they want to go using a touchscreen in the cabin. Not sure how well this would survive a crash though. And real cabbies would get pissed off and stop something like this anyway so… It’s a nice thought at least.
