A recent press release:
Not one of my projects, but still nice to see this getting some publicity. And while it's not necessarily obvious at first glance in the photo, those are actually special Target-branded Segways. Pretty cool.
Segway Inc. today announced that Target has purchased a fleet of Segway® Personal Transporters (PTs) making Target one of Segway's largest customers. The units will be used for security patrols at more than 150 Target and SuperTarget stores throughout the U.S. Minneapolis-based B2B Segway, a Segway Authorized Dealer specializing in commercial applications, secured the Target contract and executed the deployment of the units to the Target stores.
[...]
Target Assets Protection team members will use the Segway PTs to patrol the parking lots and surrounding environments of Target stores in markets such as Chicago, Miami, Dallas, Los Angeles and Seattle. In preparation for the launch of the program, Target developed a comprehensive Segway PT training program that security personnel completed before the units were deployed at their stores.
