Toyota i-swing
Toyota i-swing
Is it a Segway with a seat? Or the next step in the whole man-machine integration? Toyota 's i-swing concept takes the meaning of personal transportation a step smaller and even stranger. The concept is a two- or three-wheel vehicle paraded out for Tokyo audiences and offered up as an alternative to a four-wheel car for urban transportation. Steering the i-swing is accomplished by either a joystick or by a pair of pedals that respond to driver motion, almost like a pair of skis. The i-swing's body is made of plastics and fabric, the latter of which can be changed out by owners as fashion dictates. An LED panel on the vehicle can also be programmed with the owners' favorite video clips or still images to entertain other i-swingers, it's supposed. Spooky bit: the i-swing is designed to use artificial intelligence to determine the driver's habits and preferences.
