BBC News - Silicon Valley's hottest start-ups vie for attention: ""The future of transportation" is how Danny Kim and his engineering team at Lit Motors describe their first-of-its-kind vehicle.

Designed to withstand the brute force of an impact with an SUV (sport utility vehicle), the C-1 is the world's first two-wheeler stabilised by electronically-controlled gyroscopes that create over 1,000 pounds of torque.

That, combined with a set of flywheels, help keep the vehicle upright in challenging conditions including rain, snow, traffic and collisions."
