Honda wants to replace walking with some truly bizarre vehicles
Honda has created two concept vehicles under a "Wander" line dedicated to the idea that people should be able to get around easily with smaller, simple vehicles. They will debut at the Tokyo Motor Show that begins at the end of October.

The Wander Stand is a four-wheeled, mini vehicle that has enough vertical space so that you can stand while driving it. It's almost like a high-tech golf court if the roof were elevated enough to allow standing.
The Wander Stand incorporates augmented reality technology that projects information on the screen. The rest of the pod-like vehicle is minimalistic — it doesn't have a steering wheel but something resembling a joystick to navigate. From there, it has a system that plays music, and no other discernable features.
The Wander Walker is pretty much a scooter with some fun perks. It has leather wrapped handles, wood trim, and a navigation screen that tells you how much longer until you've reached your final destination. The scooter was designed to "freely maneuver among pedestrians," according to Honda's website.
No other information regarding its driving capabilities have been released, but here is a closer look at what the Wander line will look like.
