They're wasting their time unless it's also going to have something like Volvo's collision avoidance system & auto brakes.

So you are going round a corner, you lose grip, so it automatically sits you back up and gently applies the brakes while you plow straight into a bush.... hmm......

uncrashable is a claim too far, surely - I mean there are some real morons out there!!

Anyway it sounds too much like the 'unsinkable ship' to me. And I can't see anythnig in their patented design about a forcefield around you to deflect dozy volvo drivers from driving into your leg, etc...
