    Something about it looks too fluid and human-like

    If it isn't real its damn good CGI

    Thats absolutely mad!!!!!!!!!!!! Cant get most of the Vids to work but it looks amazing. Cant work out wether it is a spoof or not. As Skii says its good CGI if it isnt. Also whoever did it took some trouble over it.

    Thinking a bout it though it would be a massive project to get something that big to work like that. Real time linux OS, all the machanics, sensors etc surely too much for one man?
    Reading it more carefully it says that the olefactory sensors can differentiate between different roadside services petrol, air oil etc. That has to be a joke?

    The mans website has stuff on model locomotives and a history of Quantum Mechanics. Very strange.

    Defnitely CGI
    look at the robots fluidity in the car stopping vid
    also the robot is a tranformers rip off
    someone is taking the p***

    I'm sure this has been posted before on here, it's part of a tv advert for MINI, you do a whois on the domain and it gives you the name and address of a tv production company

    It's some *very* nice cgi
