British inventor Colin Mayhew details his project "Vehicle to autonomous biped robot conversion for the Mini Cooper r50" at the following site. http://www.r50rd.co.uk/research/internal/v2i/engin/
The site is incredibly detailed with sketches of his initial design ideas to videos of his creation in action. This is truly a remarkable advance in robotic design that only a maverick working outside the confines of a rigid corporate environment could achieve.
Unfortunately this is not real but the detail and effort that has gone into the creation of the site is amazing. I'm not sure if it is a bizarre advert for Mini Cooper created by BMW and unleashed onto the Internet or if Colin Mayhew is a real person that has created this brilliant masterpiece all by himself.
