The vehicle--designed like a horse--can climb steep grades and even navigate rocks and boulders. Best part, it finds its own fuel. Using a built-in GPS system, the horse seeks out vegetation which it then consumes and converts to fuel
It can also transform that same energy to its rider. Not sure how that works. Maybe like bird regurgitation? I don't know but it just sounds kinda gross.

A machine regurgitating is called a blender.
It's not gross its food preparation get with the millenium :P.
As for the machine...interesting on multiple levels.

Definitely intriguing. I would love to have one if it's a real deal. I love horses but definitely could never afford to keep one.
-
What's with tech trying to replace things that work perfectly well. Don't use a robot, just get a friggen horse.

This sounds AWESOME! The future is now! Totally featured on Current Science because I dig robots so hard!

Cool design project.....
-
Wow! I love how it can find it's own food. I admit, it's a bit creepy...

I wouldn't take that thing up a steep hill.

Maybe we could use them when we explore other planets. I always loved the space western genre of movies. Very cool.

Isn't anyone concerned that the horse-shaped machine is "eating" vegetation that actual organisms may desperately need? Seems a little ridiculous to me... Kind of a cool sci-fi toy, but impractical and wasteful of the resources the actual inhabitants of the area the "horse" is built to traverse need.

This looks like a wishful thinking mock-up. but even if it worked, the Borg horse is no replacement for the real thing. It looks more like a sabertooth lion.

i dont think i like this.... seemed cool when i clicked it, but now it just makes me think, why?

Not really sure why some think this is creepy?? we ride around in weird vehicles already, this would be a step toward natural design in our automobiles that somewhat mimics nature.. I wouldn't mind trying one out!
