It’s like smartWheels in “Snow Crash”.
That’s an awesome book, btw.
“Chiseled Spam”
Someone posted a link about this a little while ago, personaly I think this will be great for cars, wheelchairs, ect. But I don’t see it working very welll for SUV’s, motorcycles, and unicycles, the tires are just to flat, and they don’t have that 180 semi circle tread a normal tire does, although they could just have a flat peice of tread on the tire, and the wheel could bend sideways to adjust for where the ground is, although they showed this technology being used on rough terain, I noticed it was never shown on a motorcycle, nor uneaven terrain making me think there isn’t much sideways bend for the tires. My other concern for unicycles would be no bounce for hopping.
But I could, and would like to be wrong, this would make certain things on unicycles much nicer, and more sturdy. imagin your tires having a ID, that would just be cool, you could have drasticly diffrent sized hubs, and would make clutched and geared hubs alot easier to make.

A little carbon fiber here and there would go a long way.
Youre my hero! haha
I tried to start a Neil Stephenson thread in JC a while back but it sped off to page 2 real fast. 
He’s really awesome. Have you read “In the Beginning Was the Command Line?”
That is one of the best essays / short books I have ever read, and I still re-read it at least two or three times a year.
I started the Baroque Cycle, but as Neal gets older he seems to be getting more boring, too :(.
