@bentboybbz I imagine a blue screen of death showing up on the HUD, followed by the whole thing falling over XD

I'm surprised at all the criticism these concept videos get. certainly not all the ideas will come to fruition at one, but give them credit for having such forward thinking. You can't honestly believe current equipment is at it's peak of design. Electrical and electronic systems are absolutely the way of the future over diesel/hydraulic systems. Stability and traction control systems are well established. We'll be seeing many of these concepts become reality in the near future.

half of those cute little creature comforts would break within a year.. The company isnt going to fix it, since it has nothing to do with production.. The bucket sliding to the rear is going to get dirt/sand/water/mud in between the joints, so will jam at some point or freeze up in winter.. lots of other real-world problems with this 'engineers toy'.. Hell, the proxy alarm would be going off all the time since, on a jobsite, people are everywhere.. FFS..

30 years, really? Perhaps you remember President Kennedy's call to send a man to the moon by the end of the '60's. They pulled it off in nine years. Also, what would stop the engineers at Volvo from designing the hi-tech components to be durable? I think it's entirely possible.

Damn cool! Say i know a guy who has a Centaur, and its harvest season. I'd just need a grain trailer for it and it then could haul grain! This is ingenious, i love it.

this wouldnt keep up with work demands of today stick it on the moon where things move alot slower

It would be a tremendous achievement if they manage to offer this product at a competitive price, along with the regular products in the market. To design something so good is one thing, and to make it a cost efficient, durable machine is totally another

But hats off to the guys who thought it out! Very innovative thinkin indeed!
