Transformer X




If you were psyched up about Google's announcement of their self-driving cars last week, here is something that will blow that out of the water.

On Tuesday, DARPA officially announced its "TRANSFORMER X" (REAL LIFE TRANSFORMERS?!?!?!) project to build a Humvee that can take off in flight.

Forbes Blog says, " The Transformer X will be designed for depositing and extracting soldiers and supplies in tough-to-reach places without easily accessible roads, taking off from a standstill and flyng up to 250 miles with a 1000 pound load. Most Science-fiction of all? It won't necessarily have a human at the controls-or at least not one with any piloting experience"
