Prediction #4:

4.) New owners of Segways are dismayed to find that many states will require them to register and buy license plates for them. State legislators cite the need for "control" over the new vehicles to prevent possible traffic violations and hit-and-run accidents, but in truth, it's all just another government tax grab.

Not quite "there" yet, but getting closer:

.....The Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall Friday, saying that three people had been injured. One suffered a head wound and needed stitches.
