It is an expedition-base vehicle.

Hopefully that little girl pulls her head out of her ass when shes older and realizes, its that thing or school. So she can build one thats worth a damn if thats what she wants

that statement shows why Bran Ferren is where he is and where you are where you are.

@@DrAlexanderHamilton I am happy being a minimalist, I like to travel light.

+Dr. Nefario to be fair it's only been in the making for five years and has barely been tested on the roads

if I was the original creator of this, that fuel leak would have given me a boner. I bet he keeps a tin funnel in the driver's side compartment to mask erections.

dappergen Wtf lol

I think that unimog and this model the maximog has had plenty of testing all the extra crap needs a shake down to see what will fail for sure.

Ronak Dhakan the team will ride behind in an old Nissan patrol lol

@@PhilippeLarcher and the patrol will still be the only vehicle to see anything more than a gravel road...

Outdated before it hit the road. Would suck. Changed computers 8 times before it left the design floor. lol! Really though . Very interesting the advancement in this.

It's over complex for an exploring vehicle. You need/want something you can fix anywhere in the world. Its the same reason world touring bikes aren't made of carbon fibre and are usual steel. Sure they might be heavier and weaker but pretty much anywhere in the world you can find someone who can weld steel.

I'm pretty sure it's the kind of mobile science station that's supposed to be in a motorcade and not on it's own. You'd need a support truck. Maybe a recon vehicle ahead to make sure there aren't any low bridges or trees in the way. Just a piece of the puzzle, an overly complicated piece of the puzzle but a piece a of the puzzle nonetheless...

Just go with the vehicle from Damnnation Alley. Been a while since I have seen the movie. But I think they could get the vehicle to do everything that it could in the movie.

As an offroader...you want the strongest, simplest design because breaking happens in the worst spots and fixing stuff is a nightmare in the middle of no where. I know people who run stick welders on their rigs

@@XrayTom067 that, and I reckon wherever he's going to take this thing, it'll be a chopper hop away full with mechanics and needed parts. Which he seems able to afford

That was good. All the breakdown will do is motivate the brains behind vehicle.

And is this "telecommunications service or a medium" accessible to the public?

At any rate, I think that it's probably for the best that the "visionary" in charge has already made his peace with the possibility of a complete failure and a disaster. Just saying.

+ramont booker Spared no expense

+ramont booker that's what I thought!!!!!!!!!!! we all know he was a bit of a dreamer....how well did that goin the movies.also this guy looked like a jewish versin of the grandpa in JPark

+Zak Eh lol jewish

He look the walking dead guy

DUDE i thought the same

right

When you are a slacker and cant do.. you rag on people who CAN...

slacker, don't even know my life and what I do. All I am saying is this vehicle cannot go everywhere, it physically can't! Is it cool? Fuck ya it's cool, but is it practical for anything other than the vision of a very rich man? Not at all!

I get what you are saying, but I feel like this thing is more than a rich man's dream of wasting his money. He seems like he already knows what kind of vehicles you need to really get everywhere, in fact I'm willing to get he already has a few of them. But he also seems like the type of person that wants to push boundaries to change the norm, I mean just listening to that brief resume of his at the beginning, there's no way he could have made to the position that he is in now to be able to afford something like this by thinking practically.

I don't think this is about just going anywhere. It is a mobile platform of development with the premise of going anywhere. Everything they are working on here will probably be of great use in a partial or whole in many other industries and types of transport. Just my two cents.

Embarrassing. It’s called a galley, like on a boat. Multi million dollar project, and he doesn’t even know basic terms, or how to put it into gear. It’s an amazing piece of technology. My guess? He will never complete it. For him, it’s about the journey to perfection, not the road trip. Also, that is not an expedition vehicle. Try a river crossing pulling that giant trailer (that has no drivetrain) and watch your Keiratrailer get stuck in the middle.

Well,​ it is Techno-garbage...

+Kalvin N Forget the profits this isnt for profits..... But IDK what its for road surveying? xD He mustve never left a paved road in his life. Maybe he could take this to the north pole and maybe into a non sandy desert. But bottom line is exploration should be on foot its personal. Not rampaging through everything with a chainsaw welding glorified camper van. I dont think he should regret building it, but If I were him I wouldve spent the almost 5 years of my life exploring the world not getting ready too.

+James Clark road surveying would never use this, trust me

***** maybe it can fly xD ^^ I was throwing something out there just googled road surveying you're right. Good thing the world can learn from this mistake. no offense intended. I'm very jealous i_i.

Work for a man and team with the resources for you to create whatever you wanted with ROI not ever considered a factor? Sign me up. Its not designed to be profitable, its a showcase of design and technology.

💯 this thing is so complex it breaks super easily, as shown.. i've installed a few of the OTS systems in the video that cost 10-15k USD apiece, i'm gonna guess this machine cost $2m

No!

She's a spoiled, overprotected, little brat that will have a cocaine addiction by 16!

Kevin H lol yes winning comment

Poor human

Ikr

+s0nnyburnett bahahaha... well said sir. i was thinking the same, that pigs gotta weigh 12 tons! an M2 would fit nicely in his daughters machinegun tent on top.

+John Smith agreed. thats like trying to drive a tractor trailer off road

+s0nnyburnett insane

+s0nnyburnett Yeah exactly as soon as you reach some mud or sand it will sink, its too tall it might fall over and it so big it could never go through a narrow track or anything haha

they've driven it in Volkswagen polos.

My thought too. A over engineered piece of junk. Dump the trailer and rely on the Mog.

Agreed, i took off my awning because it was too much extra crap i don't need weighing down my operation.

The adventure vehicle was actually shown at 2:51. It's kinda weird, they spent a lot of time on the tow vehicle which isn't that important...

+Renderc4t It`s funny really. The real Swiss ARMY knife has one blade and 3 other functions, is green and is manufactured in Germany....

+andi sixtimesseven reallest comment here my friend, the purpose of a swiss army knife simplifies to what you really need.

Like that jumbo Swiss Army knife they made with a fucking spork in it.

building things takes time, 5yrs is not that long considering how much shit there is on this vehicle. Most normal cars take 3-5 yrs to develop, let alone for a small company.

engage

Gaetan Giroux And you don't know how to spell? What's your point?

Mr.Anonymous I would never NEVER spend that much money for a 5 yrs projet like this. 1- To the first ideal yrs ago from today, the technology is out dated. 2- Never give a project like this one, only to one group of people. Motorbike deal with peple who knows about it. Same thing for the truck, trailer & all the complex technology. That wayyou don't waste you money & time on guys who have a speciality one one aspect, but don't know much about other things. The owner haven't said the price tag of that unit, but I feel that he might spent well over 10 millions over these amazing ideal, but very defying things that absulutly shouldn't happened. Cheers

So what exactly was that original comment? It has no substance, all you said basically was "lol it's got problems". How insightful, and the hundred likes, wow.

Tyler Williams the irony haha.

Plus the suspention on the trailer has a problem so you can't do more than 5 miles and hour

It's a prototype.... anyone who has ever built anything themselves recognizes the validity and importance of these mistakes.

Like showy bells and whistles to feed the ego. I kept thinking that's all nice and everything but I wouldn't want to live inside. There are so many inexpensive Van conversions that are more livable.

ikr, it probably takes him half a day to get that thing ready to travel

Russ Hendrix made in America, nothing works

Way way to much technology. It's a mall crawler. Yes all the bells and whistles are neat on paper but get that thing off road in the shit which this guy is never going to go to in the first place at least without a huge support crew. And it will go down faster then a fat kid on a see saw.

+Zooni2 How can he accomplish that with a top speed of oh, 10 mph? And with a leaking fuel tank. LOL.

+largol33t1 every new proto type vehicle has problems.

+Matt Marzula "How much does it all cost?" All those LED strip/spot lights would cost around $10,000. SO if this guy spent that much just on spot lights then this thing is most likely very expensive.

I'm pretty sure the speed issue and the fuel leak aren't permanent features.

It's gotta be in the 10 mil range

+akeating89 When intelligent people are canned like SPAM some goofy shit can result. I'll wager he should have had more input from Kira and it would have been much more realistic.

+Knolltop Farms Hahahahahaha. "Kira do you like this new thing?" "No." "Kira what do you think of this?" "No." "Kira I'm driving this thing into the woods, are you in or out?" "Out."

LOL! :D "Kira...Thug Life!"

***** He he, I wonder how that could have happened? Poor thing probably has to play with all the goofy engineers and techs since she's not allowed to have any friends by her control freak Dad...agree?

+HeyYouSteve Yet.... Have they done an article on "Solar Roadways?"

Matt Fanning I’m just some random guy going through the comments three years later I thought your comment was very funny

Money is the cheap lubricant that has slid material into a dumpster. I am not a fan of the patent system, as rewards should flow from the realization of material products rather the stockading of ideas (as adjudicated by clerks, lawyers, and courts). I wonder if the thing could cross "The Grapevine". Looks under-powered.

Max speed 80 mph. You are not going to be breaking any land speed records with it. And if you are only looking at the materialistic aspects of it. Then you should probably stick with the (Name your vehicle here) and ignore this particular one, because about 90% of the instrumentation on it will have little or no meaning to the more domestic camper. While I agree it is an expensive toy, this is one that I would very much like to have. As a matter of fact I would take the kiravan over the most expensive RV on the market. If you are expecting luxury you will find It provides very little in the way of amenities but it more than makes up for in the sciences. Why would I want with something like this? Simple, you can't help but learn about the world around you when you have something like this to take out into the wilderness. On the other hand if you don't care about what is residing on the other side of the RV walls then this probably isn't really the vehicle for you. RV in this case means (Research Vehicle) It doesn't belong in a KOA camp ground or in some National Forest camp sight. This is for going out and exploring and learning and having the instruments to study and understand the world around you.

All while having your clients pay for it through their overhead charges...

She has a vehicle developed for millions of $$$ named after her & probably gets everything she wants. I would say spoiled is an understatement.

And she deserves it, it’s his daughter.

She wasn't going easy on him

actually crackup

+Motherboard no

+moniker127 I've seen more capable Baja surf rigs, for 1/100th the money. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it has some great features that were left out specifically, but to tag a go anywhere in Baja to surf some of the best waves on the West Coast as mundane mediocrity is far from genuine, and even though I don't lend much weight to jinxing yourself with speeches on how great your ideas are, it was ironic to have called in the camera crews and then running into a host of problems. Please make sure it's got fire suppression before you run it with your little girl onboard ;)

+Motherboard Too much, too much, ambition caused them to forget practicality; this thing is a tech nightmare and the one thing that shouldn't have problems initially, the motor, shat right out of the gate

yeah hope fully it can solve global warming or somethings

+Dain Comella You are right, i would rather chose factory land rover or Jeep Wrangler instead of that :D

A Suzuki Samurai with a winch could do the same stuff as this thing

its not really about that. sure you CAN do all that without this. he said the point of it in the video

You forgot the AxleTech IFS/IRS axles.

I get what you are saying, but I feel like this thing is more than a rich man's dream of wasting his money.

please stop being such an elitist. the world will be a much more pleasant place without snobs like you.

There are quite a few people like that. Meanwhile 1000's of real geniuses are broke & can't get funding for their projects.

+Highway Phantom Amen brother, amen!!

+Highway Phantom AMEN!! THANK YOU!!! I CLAP TO YOU SIR YOUR ARE SO DAM RIGHT!

I know you don't have appreciation for going towards limits of arts and science , so please don't comment

Out of the billions of people in the world, id imagine there might be much more that 1000s that fit that description. I agree with you.

She already _is._

MyMMC Its not her fault. Blame the dad.

Will be? Please explain

The sheer weight of the vehicle would make it useless in most types of off- road terrain. Forget about sand or mud. Or even a steep hill. Maybe the next design will have tracks.

Matt Taylor she's 6, youra big man aren't ya?

MyMMC whot? Why not?

@@keiahnigbruder1453 Those were road tyres on the bike not off road tyres so the bike would be as stuck as the truck.

Oldesouth Farm it would really suck to have a fire eating all the expensive hardware

I wasn't allowed to have sleepovers when I was younger, I fucking hated it and I vowed to never constrict my kids like that. But now that I'm older I completely understand why some parents won't allow it. You never really know who people are behind closed doors.

surely if they're the same gender and age it's okay. I mean there's more risk if they're older than 6 or however hold that girl was. at 12 people understand more about themselves. but what do I know, eh?

He most likely doesn't let her have sleep overs in the vehicle cause its still being worked on right now

Freaking ridiculous, narcisist dad

Its too complicated. Not very reliable or confidence inspiring. Too bad cuz it looks cool as hell.

Swedish Holmberg actually its super simple and easy to maintain. It's a caterpillar 3126 engine and an Allison Transmission. All parts are easily available around the world. This may be the simplest and easiest platform to maintain.

Swedish Holmberg much less

Passion for what exactly? What is this machine's purpose? Seems more like the F35 of off-road.
