Continuing the evolution of Toyota’s personal mobility vehicle development, which began in 2003 with the unveiling of the Personal Mobility concept car, is the i-REAL. “The concept of this vehicle is that you can use a cellphone with one hand and drive with the other and also stop easily, you can also drink at the same time as controlling the vehicle, we wanted to make a vehicle that safely allows for this.” “These are the levers used to control this vehicle, by pushing forward you accelerate and pulling back you brake, you can also brake by pressing this button on the lever, just by turning the lever in the direction you want to go, makes the vehicle move in that direction.” The i-REAL uses three wheels which at low speed shorten the wheel base allowing the passenger to maneuver through pedestrians at a similar eye level without taking up a lot of space, the wheel base extends out when traveling at higher speeds, providing better performance with a lower center of gravity and therefore more stability. “In walking mode this vehicle can go at 6 kilometers per hour, when you change it into car mode you can travel at 30 kilometers per hour.” The i-REAL also has a built-in social networking service allowing you to communicate and create a community with other i-REAL drivers nearby. A collision detection system constantly monitors the surrounding landscape using perimeter monitoring sensors, and alert the driver by vibrating or using noise, it also alerts others to its presence by using light and sound.
Auris: the Space Concept Vehicle From Toyota
People have certainly been asking if the Toyota Auris Space Concept vehicle is going to be the very next Toyota Corolla that holds five doors. However, it looks like it would only be up to the auto parts Toyota creator to define if they are really planning on making this concept become a real production vehicle.
If you do take a look at the Toyota Auris Space Concept, you would think that the vehicle simply outstanding. It may not have the same kind of flair that you would find in most concept vehicles but this one still does stand out. You can say though that it looks like a Toyota Vitz or a Toyota Yaris. And according to the company, they had created the Toyota Auris Space Concept so as to be able to show off and inform the people about the new type of design that they are calling the “Vibrant Clarity”.
Many people have mistaken the concept vehicle to be a Toyota Yaris based vehicle. After all, it really does seem to show that it is a Yaris in nature, especially if you do take a good look at it from its front end. Some have even said that perhaps Toyota did not find the right type of inspiration to make a concept car so instead the company just took out a Toyota Yaris and put in new headlamps as well as a different grille. And the result came out to be the Toyota Auris Space Concept. However, it could only be the company who could answer such a speculation.
According to some experts, they did find the Toyota Auris Space Concept’s overhangs to be quite okay. They were actually created to be short which helped make the vehicle quite unique in its exterior. Aside from the overhangs, the Toyota Auris Space Concept also has got wheels that measure a good nineteen inches. The brake calipers are also quite pronounced which give quite an outstanding overall effect for the vehicle. If this one does go into production, we all would do have to wait and see just how great this one does.
