"Progressive announced Wednesday that it's offering insurance policies for the Segway human transporter--despite assurances from the technology company that its two-wheeled devices are safe and offer antitheft features...Segway, which received approval in 33 states to allow its transporters on public sidewalks, has recently incurred mounting opposition following a recent ban in San Francisco... critics are worried the large device may cause accidents on sidewalks--especially with elderly pedestrians."
