] Vehicle to autonomous biped robot conversion for the Mini
] Cooper r50.
]
] I first had the vision to build a robot while working as
] an engineer on the old Mini Coopers in the late 1960s.
] There were no real robots at the time of course, so it
] was purely science-fiction. But I always believed a robot
] would be the most natural complement to the automobile -
] a full biped, intelligent version having great strength,
] dexterity and a library of mechanical knowledge. I
] imagined a robot with the ability to repair vehicles,
] direct traffic and watch over high-accident crossroads to
] preempt accidents.

The first word that comes to mind is "Transformers".

The second is "Terminator."
