Segways, the "SUVs of the sidewalks"?
A Wall Street Journal snippet (subscription required) on Segway's continuing "issues", from a new CEO to a leaving President (former Subaru USA exec), and now resistance in San Francisco:
John Doerr, Silicon Valley's premier venture capitalist, has been keeping a pretty low profile ever since the tech bust. But Mr. Doerr may be zooming back into the limelight, thanks to the Segway scooter that his venture firm, Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield & Byers, has backed to the tune of millions.
...Mr. Doerr notes that 32 state legislatures have agreed to allow the scooters on city streets, and he calls the scooter a "revolution in clean technology." But San Francisco city supervisors disagree: One calls the scooters the "SUVs of the sidewalks."
