Please let this self-driving electric scooter make it to production

I've been riding scooters for more than 25 years, and I can't say I've ever been excited about this category of two-wheelers until now. And at the moment, a Chinese upstart called Omoway has got me especially hot and bothered.

Self driving while empty and at lower speeds could be great to re-shuffle them back to higher demand areas to then rent them out again.
But self driving while I'm on it, please no
- Arranging for your own scooter to meet you would be great too, especially if it's got decent storage. There have been a few times when I've gone to my nearest town and done a bit more shopping than I was expecting to, so getting back from the bus stop would be hard work, or I've gone to visit someone and had to leave early for the bus.
  Having a scooter that could come to me would mean that I could walk or bus there, but be able to make my own way home, or drag my broken old body out for a longer walk without having to turn back too soon 🙂
  
  I'd like this in bicycle form too. Summoning a cargo bike would be great.
- Just carry a traffic cone in case you need to disable it!
Self driving car? I don't really think so. Self driving two wheeler? Helllll no.
Looks great though.
- But self driving trolly bus tho... 🤔
  
  You summon the scooter to get to the bus, then the scooter goes home until you need it again?
- Maybe one day, it would be cool to be able to summon your own ride.
