> A company spokesperson indicated that Corleo is a long-term vision, with a potential market release by 2050.<p>The video looks all cgi. Headline bait.
As mentioned in other comments, this is just a concept, they haven’t built it<p>But it’s a pretty cool concept. Video here:<p><a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8TUTp0_D-I" rel="nofollow">https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8TUTp0_D-I</a>
This is just CGI of an idea somebody had, no part of this exists yet. Its no different than if some random grad student made a video of a flying car concept that they thought of while binging old sci-fi.
Many of the comments are getting this wrong. This video is CGI-generated. However, a prototype exists but all it can reportedly do is stand up and balance itself at present.
> The company has confirmed the use of a 150cc hydrogen motor that generates electricity to drive the robot’s four legs.<p>Is hydrogen a better way to store electricity than just batteries? This seems awfully roundabout.
My dreams of a real-life Giddyup Buttercup are finally coming true…in 25 years. Hydrogen powered? Seems about as realistic as a Fallout-style nuke-powered one.
The Chevaline! It's probably possible to build The Primer, and the John Zaibatsu doesn't seem very outlandish too.<p>But guys, that book wasn't a manual.
Cos a hydrogen engine is the best way to generate electricity. Given that the entire vehicle is around the same size as the fuel tank in a pickup truck, and hydrogen's very low volumetric energy density.<p>Make the thing, <i>then</i> try to sell it, ffs.
