Try getting groceries on one

These are novelties, and will likely be as annoying as those damn motorized scooter-thingies kids ride around my block.

I'd like to see them make something more practical, car-sized transport or something.

I saw a thing about them on the news. Once generally available they're going to run for $3000. That's a lot of coin. We'll see.

Yeah, it's pricey and because it's probably not going to be feasible to make car sized HTs for a good 5-10 years I don't think it's going to catch on.

I saw it on the news, and the guy was tooling around his house on the thing. Now even when I'm tired I can easily navigate my house using my feet.

Either this won't catch on, or we when we evolve our feet will get wiped from our genetic make-up
