The actors delivered their lines so badly that Honda decided to use subtitles?

I'd still try one though

It's an amazing feat of engineering, but yea, the whole Wall-e thing is definitely something that crossed my mind.

Now imagine adapting the technology for paraplegic people.
They could go anywhere when a wheelchair still feels clumsy. |

I'd still try one though | Since it goes sideways, I think it might make a good office chair for a lab setting. But that's a really expensive office chair.
