    Leg placement FTW. While Asimo and other robots try to program a walk cycle that can handle uneven terrain and stairs (and immediatly falls over on anything unexpected), a Boston Dynamics robot just keeps its (missing) head down, putting down one leg after another and rolling with the punches.

    They seem geniuses, but the robots need energy storage breakthroughs and general AI improvements (that squishy stuff I'm treading on is a fainted human) before they're commonplace.

    The video needs "Staying Alive" or "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" as a soundtrack. I'm a woman's robot, no time to talk; just to be the robot who walked 1000 miles to fall down at your door #apocalypse

    The Big Dog just unnerves me. The part where the dude kicks it made me want to call the SPCA, but then I realized it wasn't actually an animal. Then I wanted to call the SPCR, but I realized that Skynet would probably deal with that robot-kicking jackass. #apocalypse

    I'm waiting for the version that gives you a roundhouse kick you when you try to shove it around.

    Anyone know what the Stig was fiddling with on the BMW during the hot lap? Something on the center console, I know it can't be the shifter because both are automatics. #topgear

    @not_a_virus.exe.vbs: The 7 series has semi-auto options so it probably is the 'shifter'. May does the same in the earlier video too. #topgear

    @daemonoid: Didn't know those semi autos were so effective. I always thought the dual clutch was the best, didn't know semi-suto slushboxes were effective at apeed. #topgear

    @A strolling player: SLUSH SLUSH SLUSH. Well at least till I drive it I will call it a slushbox. I REALLY like the dual clutch in the new M3, really smooth takeoff, no chunking like a regular automatic. #topgear

    In reply to Toyota Prius Is A "Butt Buddy?"
    This is actually a good metaphor for how the hybrid system works. It maybe the butt of jokes but it conveys the point very well.

    On a side note I'm always surprised when I continue to see Oh, what a feeling in these current adverts even if the phrase is not literally spoken.

    Shhhhhh. You're not supposed to admit the existence of Top Gear on torrent. It's like admitting you can get free porn online.
