In all fairness, future cities may still be designed around that kind of transportation. Not many cities have been designed and built in the last 10 years. Also, I didn't know Steve Jobs had any kind of relationship with the Segway. But it doesn't seem like he was the biggest fan of it and the launch plans: http://hbswk.hbs.edu/archive/3533.html http://hbswk.hbs.edu/archive/3533.html >I think [the design] sucks. Its shape is not innovative, it's not elegant and it doesn't feel anthropomorphic >Screw the lead times. You don't have a great product yet! I know burn rates are important, but you'll only get one shot at this, and if you blow it, it's over. >Jobs said he lived seven minutes from a grocery and wasn't sure he would use Ginger to get there. Steve Jobs was a very critical person, but I think he was often right for the right reasons. The segway was a product designed by engineers, and it showed. Its launch was over-hyped and under-delivered. It also doesn't really solve a problem that exists in current cities.
