Children build vehicles like this out of their Legos, but Nissan's Terranaut is the real thing: a rolling laboratory. It looks like a normal sport utility vehicle on which someone plopped a glass dome. But beneath that dome, Nissan says, is a fully functional laboratory, making the Terranaut "Earth's equivalent of a lunar rover."



The Terranaut can seat three (not counting lab rats) and, sticking with the space theme, its occupants are called the pilot, copilot and lab technician/scientist. The flight crew sits up front, while the scientist gets a fancy rotating seat that allows access to all the computers, touch-screens and lab equipment.

The Terranaut is said to be equipped to permit analysis of biological, geological and chemical samples in the field, and Nissan wants you science folks to know the glass dome over your seat doubles as an escape hatch.
