MIT 媒体实验室(Media Lab)推出的RoboScooter折叠式小型电动摩托车，虽然未如其名，像个机器人能自动驾驶、自动折迭，不过整台机车以电力发动，可抽取式的锂电池设计，折叠简单方便，加上总零件数不超过150个，生产成本节省不少，虽然这么小的机车在美国本土不太实用，但对中国拥挤的交通状况来说，真是件不可多得的交通工具。

Truth be told, MIT Media Lab's RoboScooter prototype would be a lot more intriguing if it had some sort of autopilot button, and while that could very well emerge in the future, it looks as if the first models will still require human intervention. Nevertheless, the ultra-compact vehicle is entirely electric, and aside from supporting swappable batteries, it can also fold up for easy transport. Furthermore, its creators boast that the entire rig is constructed from just 150 parts, which makes life on the assembly line that much easier. Granted, even engineers realize that scooters don't stand much of a chance in America, but if all goes well, this bugger could start conquering Asian streets as early as next year.
