Interesting, but wouldn't it require a shitload of energy to spin gyroscopic weight large enough to perform the task? And what about overhead obstructions? And for that matter, obstructions under it, like trucks which are conspicuously absent in the video?

What I watched was in a foreign language.

Like I said, it's an interesting idea, and I suppose it could have some limited application. I just see lots of obstacles to it being the answer to traffic problems in a big city.

And all those cars under them would NEVER change lanes unexpectedly...

Each new claim seemed more bullshit laden than the one before it.

More liberal dreams based on mythical reality...

Cool concept. Gyroscopes are viable, as evidenced by Segway.
