First Claim:
Show all 7 claims |
What is claimed is:
1. A vehicle for carrying a user, the vehicle comprising:
- a. ground-contacting module which supports a payload including the user, the ground-contacting module contacting an underlying surface and including at least one ground-contacting member;
- b. a motorized drive for actuating the at least one ground-contacting member so as to propel the vehicle in a normal mode of locomotion;
- c. a sensor for sensing a specified condition of the vehicle; and
- d. a controller for causing the vehicle, in response to the specified condition, to be accelerated with a vehicle acceleration modulated with a periodic modulation such that the vehicle acceleration alternates between braking and speeding up and braking over each period of the modulation.
