The Hyundai Elevate Source:  Hyundai Wheels and Robotic Legs Hyundai has had The Elevate under development for three years.  It can activate robotic legs to walk 3 mph over rough terrain.  The car can climb a 5 foot wall and jump over a 5 foot gap.  Hyundai says it could be very useful in emergency and disaster situations. Beyond Wheels This unusual looking vehicle is part of Hyundai's project " beyond the range of wheels".  The Elevate can drive to the scene of a disaster and climb over the debris.  It's a brand new form of mobility innovation.  It was just unveiled today at the 2019 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
