    > A company spokesperson indicated that Corleo is a long-term vision, with a potential market release by 2050.

    The video looks all cgi. Headline bait.

    As mentioned in other comments, this is just a concept, they haven’t built it

    But it’s a pretty cool concept. Video here:

    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.

    "Hydrogen powered..." Yeesh.

    > The company has confirmed the use of a 150cc hydrogen motor that generates electricity to drive the robot’s four legs.

    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.

    But guys, that book wasn't a manual.

    This is the world that I want to live in. Where I can gallop on a robotic horse and drink juice which heals my tumour but come in different colors.

    Forget the flying car. I want one!

  • by treetalker on 4/5/2025, 11:13:47 PM

    Should go into production around the same time that the Primer does.

    I can see this evolving into a sport like the moto gp

    Hydrogen powered? Where do you refuel it.

  • by kazinator on 4/5/2025, 10:53:53 PM

    Jumps shark at hydrogen.

  • by vrighter on 4/7/2025, 2:32:08 PM

    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.

    Make the thing, then try to sell it, ffs.

    Hydrogen is bullshit.
