This is NASA's new Modular Robotic Vehicle and I want one. I want one right now.

Battery-powered electric motor. Each wheel has its own independent motor and steering mechanism. You can turn the wheels 180 degrees--the turning radius is the radius of the vehicle itself. It can drive forwards, backwards, completely sideways, or at angles.

The only change I would make would be to disable the ability to control the vehicle via wireless as being too susceptible to being hacked.

It would also be less expensive that way.
