That's greeat!

All they need to do is add a stick shift and a toilet.

Sign me up!

[nianfong]

it looks like it'd be kinda uncomfortable though...

[qiphlow]

pretty cool for someone with a condition that makes the legs weak, or maybe someone recovering from knee or hip or ankle surgery.

Chafe...

I think it's a nice start on harnessing the Starship Troopers type technology for everyday uses. For some people this sort of thing might be a better answer than a cane, a walker--might even replace the wheelchair for some people. Of course it will need further development and testing.

There's a joke in there somewhere, but nawww.

I'm not sure about these...do they make them in "cup" sizes like the Nutty Buddy?

[qiphlow]

if anything, they need to make them in different seat sizes--some of the ambulatorily challenged folk i've seen have rather wide loads following them...

[Darth Rock&Roll]

this could aid with people that suffer from cerebral palsy, parkinsons, multiple sclerosis and a host of other shittiness that needs stuff to assist.

honda = cool

I think MR Garrison is going to have a prior art claim on this copyright.

Honda has always been one of my favorite companies ever; they're always on the bleeding edge of technology and innovation.
(And it made every car I ever owned.)

On that note, here's that famous commercial that took them 606 takes and cost $6 million to shoot and took 3 months to complete (one shot, all actual car parts, and no CGI whatsoever.)

Yes, that old commercial, again. High art is never old.
