My first reaction: LOL. LMAO, even. My second reaction: … Wait, this could actually be really useful if it’s actually functional and affordable though.

I’m not holding my breath, but like, in theory this could actually be really good?

Yeah people still use horses in many places where any wheeled or even tracked vehicle can’t go. It’s pretty smart.
Will this be better than a horse though? You don’t have to charge a horse, just feed it and water it (on the other hand, you can’t repair a horse like you can a machine).
LOL a horse is a living creature. It can be temperamental or ill and needs a barn and you have to clean it’s shit. This will absolutely be better.
You can eat a horse. If it comes to it.
