prototype lunar rover... the MTA


This is Frenc Pavlics (the mobility genius) driving the MTA over our “Lunarium” rock field outside of the engineering building. It is controlled with a joystick controller on the right side. The GM Research Labs at the Tech Center donated the same type controller used on the Firebird III. found on http://deansgarage.com/2011/moonmen/#more-4737

I don't consider the toys on mars to be vehicles, since they have no ability to transport people

Most unusual car type vehicle ever, the only one used off planet
