Theo Jansen is the Dutch creator of what he calls “Kinetic Sculptures,” where nature and technology meet. Essentially these sculptures are robots powered by the wind only.
BMW broadcasts Jansen’s creation in their new commercial (watch below) which is part of a new “campaign which serves to highlight BMW’s market leadership in the fields of technology and innovationâ€.

BRAVO.,. BRAVO!!!
This is so fake. Obviously they it had batteries or some type of electricity. My little brother Brian made a tooth pick ride a motorized hotwheel car once. Kelly ate it.
Da Vinci re-incarnated
