1. A vehicle for carrying a user, the vehicle comprising:
- a. ground-contacting module which supports a payload including the user, the ground-contacting module contacting an underlying surface and including at least one ground-contacting member;
b. a motorized drive for actuating the at least one ground-contacting member so as to propel the vehicle in a normal mode of locomotion;
c. a sensor for sensing a specified condition of the vehicle; and
d. a controller for causing the vehicle, in response to the specified condition, to be accelerated with a vehicle acceleration modulated with a periodic modulation such that the vehicle acceleration alternates between braking and speeding up and braking over each period of the modulation.

Abstract
A vehicle capable of an extraordinary mode of motorized motion programmed to draw the attention of an operator. When one or more sensors sense a condition requiring attention of the operator, an oscillatory motion is superposed upon the motion of the ground-contacting members.
