Kawasaki Heavy Industries has pulled the covers off perhaps the most outrageous concept vehicle we've ever seen. The Corleo is a two-seater quadruped robot you steer with your body, capable of picking its way through rough terrain thanks to AI vision.

    It is also – and don’t let anyone fool you here – absolute codswallop. The video is pure CGI, and even as a concept, this is as blue-sky as they come.

    They evidently have a demo model that can “stand and pose” so that’s neat I guess, but sadly it is not real beyond that.

    That thing is neither built like nor does it move like, a horse. It’s more cat-like or dog-like than anything.

    Which is fine, someday we can pretend to be He-Man, I guess

      Hard to say because it’s a concept of an idea at this point. It will probably never come to be.

    A horse, or something built around the same general plan, was coming down the street at a hard gallop. Its hooves did not make the pocking noise of iron horseshoes. Bud realized it was a chevaline - a four-legged robot thingy.

    Neal Stephenson at it again.

    That’s probably the least efficient vehicle they could have made that wasn’t a pogo stick.
