The problem is that it takes time. Learning how to go on 2 wheels isn't that hard Learning how to go on one is noticeably harder as in need 2 axis of balancing, not (essentially) one Meanwhile they want to sell product that's small and convenient enough to carry, and one wheel gives it advantage in that. And artificial balancing is easiest way to add it. > I mean think about SLOW the self-driving cars are after 10+ years. Their reaction time and judgement is shit. > I'm not an exceptional cyclist, but I've learned to make decisions safely in 15+ years of riding around SF, through diverse conditions and terrain. It's obvious to me that these capabilities are beyond software. This thing is not self-driving. There is MASSIVE gulf between "make a vehicle controllable by human" and "make that vehicle self drive".
