The Nissan Pivo 2

[KayakinBoy]

Maybe I'm just a redneck who gets amazed a little things, but this is freakin' insane!

The Pivo 2 three-seater electric car has wheels that can turn 90 degrees for easy parallel parking. Like its predecessor, which was unveiled two years ago, the new Pivo has a cabin able to revolve 360 degrees, eliminating the need to reverse. A round-eyed robot head sitting on the dashboard has cameras that can tell when a driver is getting sleepy. "You look tired. There's a coffee shop 500 metres ahead on the left," it told a driver with drooping eyelids during a recent demonstration.

My Chevy Avalanche weighs in at 7500 pounds with me in it. That thing would look like a squashed june bug and so would the person inside if I was ever in an accident with one.

That about sums it up. When 100pct of vehicles on the road are of similar mass to this, I'll try one.

Concept Car = Translation: Totally impractical to ever be considered a production car.

You just have to laugh to a certain degree..... think of all the people that have a hard enough time just driving our current line of cars. Imagine giving them something like this to have to operate. It'll have to have user input and there lies the problem.

Wonder if it comes in a diesel?

I definatly agree with the user interface comments. My parents would have a hard time with it. They don't even know how to use the internet. :laugh:

Run on diesel? It's electric! :sign:
