House designers are definitely going through the edge on this one. I bet no one has ever thought of using legs for a mobile house. We’ve seen the concept come true in the form of RVs and Trailers, but none of them are really “All-Terrain” and stuff. I’m looking forward seeing this concept come into fruition.

I would hope that the natural disaster was not one that happened really fast. It’s great to have a house that can walk away; but, if the video is any indication, I would hate to be at home when a disaster hit. What is its top speed anyway

Are we serious here? why not use wheels, Unless this thing can handle terrain as well as the big dog, which I’m sure it can’t, there’s no point to a ridiculously slow moving house. unless it’s constantly migrating, it’s not going to move fast enough to react to any flood/ natural disaster. You’d probably better off just having a house that doubles as a boat. or as John B said, a trailer.

OMG Ariel, I don’t know where you find these stories, but thank you.

Flooding will be an important issue in the future as the global warming prediction maps indicate. People should take the matter seriously especially when purchasing a new home. Knowing the elevation of the location should be a primary consideration for anyone planning to live in a home for more than 20 years.

However, this is an odd idea that is probably better for promotional purposes than widespread application. Wouldn’t I need a driver’s license for this? The parallel parking test looks like it would be a real challenge!

And of course there’s the whole issue of whether they could use the commuter lanes if there’s more than one resident, and the inevitable home traffic jams.

This was invented shortly after the car, it’s called a trailer home. This is useless.
