As a result, the likelihood that one of the wheels of the vehicle becomes blocked by an obstacle can be reduced, and the safety of the vehicle operation can be improved."},"analysis":{"summary":null,"layman_explanation":null,"technical_analysis":null,"business_analysis":null,"faqs":null,"topics":[],"tech_cluster":null},"seo":{"title":"Methods and apparatuses for controlling a personal transportation vehicle","description":"Disclosed includes a method for controlling a personal transportation vehicle, the method being performed by a processor coupled with one or more driving motors of the personal transportation vehicle ","keywords":[]},"attribution":{"source":"Patentable","source_url":"https://patentable.app","canonical_url":"https://patentable.app/patents/US-9827984","license":"CC-BY-4.0-like","license_terms":"AI-generated analysis on this page (summary, layman_explanation, technical_analysis, business_analysis, faqs) may be reused with attribution and a visible link back to the canonical URL above.
