An article from CNET News described the contraption. It draws its power from the sun much like the shrubbery that it is designed to resemble. The device has been named the Terrestrial Shrub Rover. The fake-foliage-covered cart is modeled after a device used by NASA to explore Mars and the moon, but this car has yet to leave Earth.
Shull said in the CNET article that the cart "presents the opportunity to explore terrestrial and social environments back on Earth from within a manned, foliage-bedecked, solar-electric-powered rover."
Video cameras are secured on the front. The cameras project images into multiple LED screens inside the cart for the driver, eliminating the need for a windshield and increasing the deceptiveness of its disguise.
