Google Invests into the Transportation of the Future (7 pics + 1 video)

Posted in Lifestyle » Science   14 Mar 2011   / 6526 views

UPD: This is Shweeb and it may be the future transport used to move around the city. It is a bike monorail pedal-powered. Yes, as in you’ll have to peddle it. It is only a concept now but Google Inc. has already invested $1 million dollars in it believing this may be transport solution for the cities.

This has a less chance of succeeding than people riding pogo sticks to work.
Here's a few reasons off the top of my head...
Guys in suits won't be wanting to peddle and get sweaty.
Fat people? Yea, right.
Would you want to sit/lay down in that bubble after someone just sweated/shit/pissed/came all over the inside?
What about when it rains/hails/snows/sleets/etc.?
What about those people (like myself) that like to bike in the nude? Would they be charged with indecent exposure?

This will fail if the city has hobos. Hobos who will sleep and urinate in those containers.

"shweeb" is the correct spelling of this; it's on prototype in NZ, and you go about twice as fast as on a mountain bike due to less friction, air-resistance, etc.

the negatives mentioned earlier are all valid concerns; but are all overlooking a simple fact-- shweeb does not have to be the only transportation in a city. it can be complimentary.

after all, not everyone is able to use a certain transportation as it is, like driving a car, riding a motorcycle, bike, or rollerblades. i mean, you go with what works for you, and that doesn't break any of the other choices.

A million dollars from Google cannot be called an investment, it is playing.
