IS THE $300,000 REZVANI TANK ACTUALLY BULLET PROOF?!
A little bit expensive and excessive, but a scaled-down version could possibly be practical!

EXCLUSIVE! Meet the Bollinger Trucks That Can Off-Road Like a Jeep and Haul Heavy
Electric vehicles will probably be ready for off-road in a few years. These early ones look good, but I wouldn't buy one for myself until they prove themselves for several years of solid performance.

wildbill: That Bollinger looks interesting. Lots of interesting ideas, but a reliable vehicle is more than just a collection of interesting ideas. I'll wait and see how it does!

BoraxBill: Plus it sounds like it might be a bit expensive. From the sound of things it costs a lot!

What a concept! I really like the drones for illuminating offroad terrain! That's a cool idea!

mrgreen: The drones are a little over the top, but an interesting idea. I like the smartphone slotting into the dash like that too, but I think a more spread out array of controls is better. All in all it looks like a pretty good vehicle and I'd love to take one for a test drive if they ever become available!
