The Pivo 2 also picks up the innovative rotating cabin design, which eliminates the need for a reversing and makes the car much more manoeuvrable. Other technologies showcased in the Pivo 2 include ‘by-wire’ technologies for braking and steering as well as wheels that can pivot up to 90 degrees.
Engineers have also installed a new ‘Robotic Agent’ interface system that can converse to occupants in either Japanese or English. Not only will it provide entertainment or company on long trips, it allows the driver to control several basic vehicle functions as well as search for parking spots using voice activated functions.
