“The robot, called Raptor, has achieved a speed of 46 kilometres per hour on a treadmill. That is faster than the fastest human, the Olympic sprinter Usain Bolt, whose top speed has been estimated at 43.92 km/h.”
“Inspired by the velociraptor - a predatory dinosaur which lived 75 million years ago.”
Humans are not very fast. And treadmills are flat and predictable.
I do think that if they can work out the kinks and test on open road, road with obstacles, road with moving objects, sidealks with people and so on, and improve fuel economy, a fast bipedal transport wil eventually win over a two-wheel or four-wheel contraption that needs an enormous infrastructure and gobbles up land (25% of Los Angeles is covered in roads.)
No more roads need to built. (or built just crudely enough to allow it to scurry along.)
