this bike is constructed from a manufacturing process known as additive layer manufacturing (ALM), which is used also in the manufacturing of satellites.
riding bikes, from running water etc. There is early traction there. Los angeles is testing advanced flywheel technology as a way to reap wasted energy from braking trains
The bearing system that allows the bike to turn can be locked so that a thief can t steer his stolen bike.
The lock is internal, meaning that he d have to destroy the bike to ride it away. 8. No more Greasy Chains An updated shaft drive
#which replaces the chain with a rod and internal gear system#would be perfect for urban riders.

The motorcycle could be like that, Levandowski thought: quicker off the mark than a car and more maneuverable.

No motorcycle company was willing to put its name on the project. Then he added a hundred thousand dollars of his own.
#oeshe hated the motorcycle project.##There came a day when Goldberg realized that half his Ph d. students had been working for Levandowski.

#oewe built the bike and rebuilt the bike, just sort of groping in the dark, #Smart told me.#
#oeit s like one of my colleagues once said:##You don t understand, Charlie, this is robotics.
Nothing actually works.##Finally, a year into the project, a Russian engineer named Alex Krasnov cracked the code.
When the bike tipped to one side, Krasnov had it steer ever so slightly in the same direction.
This created centrifugal acceleration that pulled the bike upright again. By doing this over and over, tracing tiny S-curves as it went,
the motorcycle could hold to a straight line. On the video clip from that day, the bike wobbles a little at first,
like a baby giraffe finding its legs, then suddenly, confidently circles the field#s if guided by an invisible hand.

and more portable than the camera used on the bike. This will enable us to run Street view to farther places and show more about our largest natural asset:
when you can get spell-check right. bike/train/bike commute beats any self driving car option. yes that would be bad short term for an economy based on consumption
