Hyundai made a walking car (no, really) (https://www.zdnet.com/article/hyundai-made-a-walking-car-no-really/)
It's fitting, as we wait for flying cars, that we might first see walking cars first. There's an evolutionary logic there, and while this concept might at first elicit eye rolls, it actually makes a weird kind of sense for some pretty important use cases. The vehicle has four wheels and operates as a normal under normal driving conditions. But when it needs to access areas that normal cars never could, its extensible legs lift it and its wheels turn 90 degrees to become feet. The articulated legs then allow the car to walk forward in a quadrupedal gait like some kind of mutant cow.

Them Koreans. [emoji849] They'd try anything.
We used to have a Fiat Ritmo that moved that way. It wasn't intentional mind you. It eventually rusted away to nothing.

Just like another Italian car...Alfa Romeo....when it rained you could hear it rusting away in front of you.
