Yes... and probably win. I love the way he finishes it off. (you'll need to have flash installed to check it out... sorry.)

Mr. Mystery scooper (as well as S.A., and even my wife) pointed out this bit from MIT. These are from their "Smart Cities" project. MIT's dream is that by 2020 you'll be able to rent one of these electric scooters (built by SYM?) on the street to get you around town. Expect to see even...
