Really bad ideas

Up there with the chocolate melding mask?

Hmmmm
How would it stand up?
Or drive without falling over?
I know it's a concept but surely some sort of reality check should have been made?
Cheers

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

Getting it to stand up is a, relatively, straight forward problem in control theory, it's a complex type of inverted pendulum.
What I think would be hard is transferring energy into and out of the ball (drive and braking) close to efficiently.
These kinds of wacky concepts are all about publicity and sf movies with lots of cgi than any direction real cars will ever go in.
