Japanese engineers develop real-life transformer car

Japanese engineers have developed a real-life transforming car robot which can actually transform with people inside.

Standing 3.7-meters tall, the two-seater robot, dubbed “J-deite RIDE”, can transform from car to robot in 1-minute, and walk at a speed of 100 metres per hour or drive on its four wheels.

“The robots I’ve seen in animation movies since childhood all had this kind of look and they transform into or combined with each other to become something else with people on board. So I grew up believing that robots had to be capable of such things, which became my motivation to develop this robot,” said Brave Robotics chief executive officer Kenji Ishida, who initiated the co-project with Asratec.

The new development is expected to get many car freaks excited especially with the fact that the car can transform with people inside it.
