These look cool, but it's not great for wine.

The purpose of a decanter is twofold:

1. To get rid of sediments (which this does fine)
2. To aerate the wine

Aerating is potentially more important, especially with harsher wines. This obviously does not do that since a very small surface area is open to the air. This is why most decanters are large balloons.

Wow, I've been following you since Gizmodo, and I always thought you were Asian.

I disagree, I think buses on major arteries will be the LAST to adopt this technology. Look at subways now: it's easy to have an self driven train (like at JFK airport), but unions will never allow the whole MTA (or any other transit authority) to be automated. As soon as we try to automate it, they'll flood the media with safety concerns.
