Here's a new bipedal personal transport concept vehicle made by
Toyota:

I kinda like the look of it. It may look humble right now, but I see
in it the beginnings of many Japanese animated sci-fi stories.

What they really need to add next are mechanical arms, for maintaining
balance.

If nothing else, it could make for an excellent new spinoff of Robot
Wars on Comedy Channel.

But ultimately, something like this could evolve into a new type of
man-agile combat vehicle.
