No, this is not a hoax.Ã,  One of the lead engineers for BMW is funding this project out of his own pocket.Ã,  The R50R robot is planned to be in production for traffic control within the decade.Ã,  This thing is incredible.Ã,  It is able to track moving targets etc in a Terminator-style HUD, it is amazingly dextrous, it can literally stop moving cars, just watch the videos in the link below.

EDIT: If you're wondering why it has wheels it's because it's made partly from BMW Mini Cooper parts!

Just watching it stop a car is the coolest thing I have seen in I don't know how long.

- No, I mean it's really STUCK. Like adventure-game stuck.

No death for us yet, sorry.

That's some good 3D animation. You can tell it's fake when he pulls a white board over for no reason... Obviously to ease rotoscoping.
