I'm hoping some car company comes up with a one seater (3 or 4 wheels)
how about the Carver (next bit has been cut and stuck)

To be able to corner a slender vehicle without tipping over, Brink Dynamics has developed the Dynamic Vehicle Control (DVC™) system. This system makes the vehicle shift its weight by tilting the vehicle body when cornering and thus staying in balance. This enables slender vehicles to corner fast and save. Based on this technology Brink Dynamics has developed an enclosed three-wheel vehicle with the comfort and safety of a car, yet only being 130 cm (4′ 4″ feet) wide. In the 8 years afterwards, Brink Dynamics has improved and fine-tuned the technology to such a refinement that currently tilting vehicles can be designed that are safe, highly robust, easy to drive and road approved. This has led to the commercialisation of a small production scale vehicle under the name of “Vandenbrink Carver”. With the support of Brink Dynamics, Vandenbrink B.V. was able to obtain road certification and type approval across the EU for this vehicle.

Carver is currently produced and marketed by Vandenbrink under the DVC technology license of ATLC. Several experts in the field of tilting vehicles have recognized that Brink Dynamics is the first company to succeed in developing a commercial road approved tilting three-wheel vehicle with an enclosed and comfortable passenger compartment.

We have provided three video’s for download showing the potential of the Carver:
