CES 2014: Toyota Loses Their Mind



Toyota showed off a number of concept vehicles at CES 2014 this year. The one above is the FCV. What makes this car notable is it uses hydrogen fuel cells. Toyota is now joining Honda and BMW in exploring this.

This wild concept is a three-wheeled commuter car named i-Rop. 



Here is proof Toyota has jumped the shark and completely lost its mind. I don't even know what to classify this concept FV2 as. The outer shell changes colours (they showed something like this at the last Toronto Auto Show, except as a full-sized car). The car is supposed to understand you "emotionally," so it can sense if you had a bad day, and if so, play your favourite song. No really, I'm not making this up - this is what the Toyota presenter said. It has three wheels, but no steering wheel - you move your body and the car moves with you. You and the vehicle are one. The Zen-moblie.

Don't expect this anytime soon.
