It's so easy to map to to Wall-E but from my perspective this is in a very different direction. You still have to move to get this to work. This will essentially allow you to walk when you considered Ubering or driving. You'll be less fatigued and less sweaty when you reach your destination.

You don't think there will be a skate mode enabling the user to stand still and be transported?

The Wall-E people will probably desire it.

There are already electric skateboards, scooters, one-wheels, bikes, etc. I see nothing wrong with electric skates (although range would probably be terrible without a separate battery pack)
