>>“When a tsunami or earthquake hits, current rescue vehicles can only deliver first responders to the edge of the debris field,” explains John Suh, Hyundai vice president. “They have to go the rest of the way by foot. Elevate can drive to the scene and climb right over flood debris or crumbled concrete.”<<

“Imagine if an emergency vehicle could not only bring the team of responders to the edge of the disaster zone but actually step right in, striding over top flaming rubble to get responders exactly where they need to be. Forget last mile, that’s last 100 yards. And that’s the all-new Hyundai Elevate concept, moving through the world on fully articulated wheeled legs that let it climb vertical walls, hop over crevasses, crawl like a reptile and quietly cruise the highway on a sunny day.”

I want one.

By lifting itself up in stopped traffic it could travel over the top of all the other cars?

That’s one point.
