Basically, that means it's a testbed for technology - drive-by-wire controls, car-to-car and car-to-infrastructure communication all feature, meaning traffic flow and safety can be dictated by info from the truck, if there were many of them on the road, that is.

So this is what they're doing with left over bits of Concorde, making trucks!!! Only suitable in America cos their roads dont have corners

I guess it will only be about 3 million to buy one. Anything that saves you money is normally really expensive and only saves you money in years to come by which time your dead so you dont really save anything. I also agree with steve below, why spend money on making stuff like this that never normally works when instead you could be developing/creating other ideas. I would like another form of fuel to go into are cars, because at £1.50p a litre, it's becoming a joke

I've long wondered why there aren't hover cars on the roads by now. No road tax because they're not on the roads. No potholes. All around rubber bumpers so if there's a crash they just bounce off each other. Short cuts across rivers. The possibilities are endless.

Instead of wasting time money and energy in something that would not be suitable or practical for use on UK roads.............................
The Brits should be developing economic rail transport instead of this impractical vehicle ..........
Although might be useful on german autobahns' ...
Also the green man isnt looking very healthy on picture no 4............ To much radiation from the electric magnetic effect...

Dropping loaded trailers at compounds, Ports is not possible with this vehicle,.
A tractor unit, with driver and standardised trailers is logistically superior to this machine, however it is a mega looking "craft" just illogical

it look like a airplane

Peter.
I think you're on my side regarding hover cars. If there are idiots on the road who are still unable to drive a car then it'll still be safer having vehicles that can avoid deaths rather than create them. It'd be exactly the same except that you'd be on a cushion of air instead of wheels. Idiots are still idiots no matter what they drive.

To all the 'top gear' man-childs having dark masturbatory fantasies about getting their hands on one of these i wouldnt get too excited if i were you,by the time they get put on mainstream markets only the financially elite world corporations will be able to afford one,you lot might get the job of driving one 9 till 5,thats about it.
By this time most vehicles you see now will have been taxed off the road and into the scrap yard with the openly announced plans of the EU to reduce road congestion by increasing the cost of motoring to the extent which is beyond almost all average peoples budgets
Dream plebes,dream on!!

Truck me - it's awful.
26/04/2012 16:03
what a load of s*** .. we had cars which ran on water years ago but were never released because fuel prices would drop instantly , so what is the need for electric , space looking trucks ... no need atall
26/04/2012 17:23
its stupid how can you make a turn when your in the trailor section
your facing one way and the tractor unit is turning the other way , this wont work on our roads
27/04/2012 07:21
Jeeze, keep your old one, all this marketing for the new, latest, fuel efficient, greener, more economical is just getting peeps to put there hands in their pockets. it's a bit like washing powder, been upgraded and improved so many times it makes me wonder why the stuff me mum used actually worked. Have a great day people, your not what you own or want x

If like Pinocchio, does its nose grow longer if you tell lies. Honestly officer I was only doing 55mph? Ha Haa.
26/04/2012 15:47
Uuuumm must feel weird in turning right or left... and the nose looking straight on...
27/04/2012 08:51
