Running corners too wide into oncoming traffic or trees is a concern, but not more than with cars, etc. If you're driving too fast, you're driving too fast. I don't see that it's more of a concern with this vehicle.

I assumed the same as you that cornering is still a problem since they didn't show it in the video. I think this project still needs a lot of work. The same project was on HN a couple of months ago and it was really no different except for the slightly more polished exterior. Basically they showed that gyros can keep a 2 wheel vehicle upright, but we haven't seen the thing in motion at all. This is why I think 2013 is way too optimistic for a release.

The price does seem a bit high, but it should come down over time.
