Nissan's Pivo - This concept electric car was first unveiled to the public at the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show. The three-seater uses Nissan's high-performance lithium-ion battery to power its electric engine, resulting in an emissions-free car.

Designed by Nissan along with Japanese artist Takashi Murakami, the Pivo includes many innovative technologies that might find their way into the automotive industry in the next few years. Nissan's "Around View Monitor" reduces blind spots by displaying the external surroundings on screens mounted on the inside of the car's A-pillars on either side of the windshield. A dash-mounted infrared (IR) commander allows the driver to operate the navigation and stereo systems without letting go of the steering wheel, with simple finger movements. But maybe the most innovative aspect of the Pivo is its ability to revolve its cabin 360 degrees, eliminating the need to go into reverse. That's good, because you'll be fiddling with the stereo.

More pictures and information on the Pivo can be found on Nissan's webpage.

I love robots, just I have to tell I think that the dashboard robot is
one of the dullest ideas. Good people with money to purchase cars, won
not opt for a "toy". http://www.remarkabletrucks.com/
