MAN-KAT Truck Maniac Expedition Vehicle
Expedition trucks typically start as military surplus, but few end up feeling like mobile hotel suites. The Maniac takes that concept to the next level, with a MAN-KAT truck, one of those old German army beasts designed to move goods over mud and mountains. Turkish contractors at Sya Mobil spent nearly two years converting it into a people mover before delivering it to the Atik family in 2023. What they got was a 4×4 home on wheels that sleeps four but shines as a couple’s escape pod, with 215 square feet of living space in a shell that can withstand tough terrain.

Real TARS Robot Interstellar Movie TARS3D
Aditya Sripada still gets a kick out of those all-night robot build marathons where time just slips away, and you’re completely fixated on getting that next piece to fall into place. Back in November 2022 he found himself spending every free weekend at Nimble, chipping away at a whole robot for fun, in a bit of a makeshift junkyard space with no lab of his own to call home and a pretty tight budget to boot.

This isn’t some far-fetched fantasy of the future; Honda engineers have been experimenting with the concept since last year’s show, wow everyone with a bare engine before revealing the finished product. If you’re one of those riders who craves quick torque, the kind that gets you going from a standstill, this thing has a lot to be thrilled about.

Joby Aviation Turbine-Electric Aircraft Demonstrator Flight
Joby Aviation has just completed a surprisingly quiet revolution in the skies over a California airfield. On November 7, their latest model, a turbine electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, took off for the first time from their Marina facility. This aircraft has combined the clean lift of electric motors with the constant leg-up of a gas turbine, resulting in longer flights and heavier loads than anyone could have dreamed.
