When you think that you have seen everything about concept cars, Hyundai stole the show and decided to offer something that is either going to be really cool or really creepy.
Hyundai will reveal its new concept car at CES 2019 held in Las Vegas. The vehicle, which is called the Hyundai Elevate, will make its debut at a press conference of Hyundai on January 7. And what’s special about this car is that according to Hyundai, besides its driving ability, the car can do walking as well as climbing.
From Hyundai’s short news release, we can guess that Elevate is an electric car that is equipped with four robotic legs. Each of the legs will have a wheel instead of a foot. It seems like there are three joints at each leg which, as claimed by the Korean automobile manufacturer, will provide the car with the ability to “drive, walk or even climb over the most treacherous terrain.”
Hyundai considers Elevate as the first ever UMV (Ultimate Mobility Vehicle) in the world. Elevate, as stated by the company, can bring people to places that no vehicle has ever been to do before.
From the image, the huge red cross located on the side of the vehicle as well as the car moving through rubble suggest its potential utilization as a rescue vehicle. That would totally make sense as Elevate does not look like something to be used for a trip to the local grocery store after all.
Of course, this is still just a concept car, so it is unlikely that Hyundai will have an actual size working model of the Elevate showcased at CES 2019. However, it is still an intriguing idea from an automobile manufacturer, to provide vehicles with even more potential utilizations than what they have already offer people.
