Pivo 2

Nissan unveiled its new Pivo 2 concept car last week in Japan. It has no axles; the four wheels operate independently. Both the wheels and the cab can rotate, eliminating the need for reverse gear. Sure makes parking a breeze! The car also features an onboard robot who can help with navigation and will check to see if you are too sleepy to drive. Push play or go to Live Leak.

Only if you can voice command the robot and name it yourself.
“R2D2 - find a route home!”

I find the blinking lights a bit tacky but the concept is outrageous!

I think the demographic for this vehicle is inner-city, young, black, american males.

Mmm … beer …

“pivo” (as pronounced “peevo”) is the russian word for “beer”

I know robots are becoming more and more human-like, but don’t you think it’s just a bit premature to start referring to them using the pronoun “who”?

pivo = beer
not only in Russian, but in most Slavic languages.

Looks a bit like the Toyota Iunit:
