Swerve Drive on a Jeep

For all those who are fascinated by Swerve drive on robots, take a look at this. Jeep has released a new model with crab steering capabilities. I'm personally a GM man, but I can still appreciate the sweetness of this ride.

Thanks to Holtzman for the link.

Wow, its just unbelieveable. I can't wait for this technology to be implemented into the Jeep fleet. I'll swap mine in, and hope that it stops skidding on its short wheel base.
