Lain forwards a link to Boing Boing showing off Dutch company Tiger-Stone’s new “Brick Road Laying Machine”.

Note the loose bricks sitting on top of the machine.  This isn’t a sheet of stamped concrete or anything; this machine lays actual brick.  How does it work?  From Inhabit…

The machine consists of an angled plain that workers feed with paving stones or bricks. As the electric crawler inches forward along a sand base layer, the bricks are automatically packed together by gravity. A small telescoping forklift feeds the hopper, allowing the Tiger-Stone to lay out an impressive 400 meters of road day, and the span can be adjusted up to six meters wide. Here’s a stereophonic video of the machine in action.
