It’s filled with weapons, sensors, gadgets, and likely an espresso machine. This superhero ride rises above all others.
But, the feature that makes it truly useful is, when Batman is getting the stuffing kicked out of him by some goons, with the push of a button it powers up, puts the pedal to the medal and comes and saves his bacon.
Well, scientists have gotten another step closer to putting that technology into the hands of modern superheroes.
I give you the VisLab project.
Ok, ok, I know. It’s an orange van.
Although, I could see it being driven by Animal Man.
Point being, the VisLab project based out of the University of Parma, Italy is undergoing an amazing road test. They’re driving the Silk Road, from Rome, Italy to Shanghai China, completely without a human driver.
They’re out to prove that it’s possible, using current technology to autonomously move goods over long distances with non-polluting technology. Oh, that’s right. The thing is electric and that goofy rack up top is a solar panel.
So, while you might not want to count of the VisLab project to come in, guns a blazing when you’re down and out, with a little creative tinkering you could have a super sweet automated ambulance.
“St. Mercy Hospital please , VisLab. And step on it!”
