I wonder if big cities eventually incorporate more of these superblocks, whether the need for rapid transit through some of these areas - as well as accommodating transit for the elderly - will spawn more use of "vehicles" like the Segway [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segway_PT https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segway_PT]? Maybe not the single-rider segway, but i mean some smaller-scale, non-gas-powered vehicles which allow comfy and safer travel for a few people?

In my city, we have these small electric buses[1], designed to travel at a reduced speed. Not exactly tremendously innovative, but still, they're much nicer than regular buses, and since they stop anywhere (just wave), they're helpful for people with reduced mobility.
