Either someone has a rather different definition of "home" than I do, or I need to kick my lifestyle up a notch.

Very cool. Reminds me of the Alaskan dude who built a mech 7 years ago or so. But, this seems to be much more advanced and with proper funding.

Hmmm. Wonder if it's street legal. Can you imagine if one of those things pulled/walked up behind you? Could this be the next evolutionary step of Robot Wars? Very cool!

This is better than what Depart of Defense is spending on robo-mule and powered limbs.
Another fine example of sci-fi becoming reality.

Huh?
If I were driving one of these, those in front wouldn't see me pulling up behind them as they'd be screaming for their lives as I pick up their vehicle and toss it out of my way.
Judging from the video, this isn't going to happen for quite some time. It moves as though it were a senior citizen.
I'd have busted a gut if the thing whipped out a check book.
