This is, of course, a hoax. It's really a viral advertisement by BMW.Not that any retired engineer, especially a British one, could fund such a project and staff it with himself and his wife. Don't forget it's taken the deep pockets and brain & manpower at Honda just to come up with Asimo.Would be cool, but alas still a long way off. http://www.thingsmagazine.net/...34002 - That wasn't a dig at Brit engineers. Just that pay scales are lower and taxes higher across the pond.
