Detail
CHIBA, Japan - Toyota’s single-seat electric car resembles a soft cuddly armchair on three wheels and comes with a virtual “friend” programmed inside that learns the driver’s tastes and personality.
Japanese automaker Toyota Motor Corp. says its “i-swing,” which can be seen zipping around on a stage at the Tokyo Motor Show, is a car that’s designed to be more than a cold machine, and for use on sidewalks as well as roads.
It can travel on three or two wheels, and its body is made of polyurethane and covered in fabric to soften the impact if it bumps into people.
