1. A scooter apparatus comprising:
a steering assembly comprising:
a pivotable steering member having a pivotal axis;
a handle-bar securely attached to said steering member;
a pair of front wheels;
a steering mechanism configured to steer said front wheels upon applying pivotal motion to said steering member;
a wheels-pivoting-mechanism configured to pivot said pair of front wheels, the wheels-pivoting-mechanism comprising one or more linkages that receive pivotal motion from a post of said pivotable steering member;
an autonomous driving mechanism comprising an autonomous motor disposed inside the post of said pivotable steering member; and
a steering-tilt assembly configured to tilt said steering member towards an inside periphery of a turning curve, when pivoting said steering member,
wherein a rate of said tilt of said steering member, towards the inside periphery of the turning curve, is proportionally related to a pivoting rate of said steering member;
a deck assembly comprising a standing board orthogonal to the pivotable steering member and configured to be parallel to and along a road surface, the standing board configured for supporting a rider standing up;
a rear wheel assembly comprising at least one rear wheel; and
an interface assembly extended angled down between and connecting said deck assembly with said steering assembly.
