Everything seemed real up until that last video with the car stopping. The robot doesn't look all that real in that one.

Yup, I've seen similar things with the VW Bug, it's most impressive. However, that car stopping bit did give me cause for wonder

Agreed. As cool as the Car Stopping clip is, I can't imagine it being real.

To me anyways, it's not so much that the robot couldn't do that, but the fact that in that clip, the robor doesn't look real. Looks more like the guy just drove his car, stopped, and the robot was edited in.

A whois lookup on r50rd.co.uk returns the address:
6 darblay street
london
W1V 8DM
GB

A quick search for this address on Google reveals:

Martyn Gould Productions, 6 D'Arblay St, London, W1F 8DN, UK

On a page titled: "Film and Television - Post Production, Commercials"
