Toyota has recently made a few interesting personal travel vehicles as concept show cars and the PM is no exception. Toyota’s vision is to join vehicles together as a mobile community communicating wirelessly with one another in an effort to assist safety and ease congestion and work in a series using auto pilot. The car even has emotions with led technology changing colour when the vehicle is in a particular mood. The cabin is built for one person and at lower speeds and for exit and entry to the vehicle the cabin is more upright like the photo we took at Toyota’s massive MegaWeb in Tokyo. When the vehicle is traveling at higher speeds the carriage lies back more giving it a more racing feel. The vehicle features a electric engine and is steered using a joystick. To enter the vehicle the whole bonnet and windscreen lift open a bit like a cocoon. The turning circle is rather impressive being able to do a donut in 1.2 metres. It will be interesting to see how long it will be before we are all driving around in these weird vehicles.
