A car which can climb walls and step over holes thanks to its robotic LEGS could transform the way rescue teams operate in disaster zones. More than 10,000 people died in natural catastrophes in 2017, with an estimated 201 million needing international humanitarian assistance. One of the problems is reaching those affected - and Hyundai has now unveiled Elevate, a concept vehicle which blends technology found in electric cars and robots to cover terrain beyond the limitations of even the most capable off-road vehicle. Elevate can be driven by first responders to locations like a traditional electric car.
