Hum Rider – a vehicle on 'stilts' for jumping columns

Hum Rider

The Hum Rider may not be a production vehicle, but a utility vehicle like this Jeep Grad Cherokee is something everyone would like to own, especially when we're stuck in traffic. With the help of hydraulic lifts, the Hum Rider rises above the other vehicles and literally rides above them.

Hum Rider is a reworked version of the 4-ton Jeep Grand Cherokee, which is raised so high with hydraulic jacks on each wheel that it can be driven above other vehicles. A car not serial, but part of Verizon's advertising campaign (one of the oldest wireless communication service providers) for the device Verizon Hum, which controls and monitors the operation of the vehicle and traffic and provides assistance, but probably everyone would like their car to have this kind of capability.

They made it at Thinkmod, and to raise it, you only need to press the switch, which activates it hydraulic lifting arms, which are on each wheel. At the same time, the rut also widens. It rises 2.7 meters from the ground, which is enough to drive over most passenger vehicles. They are available to the driver for a better overview of what is happening four cameras, which send the image to the passenger cabin. Something similar - a bus - was introduced some time ago in China, but the project was put on hold in the meantime.
