|

People wonder what the cars will look like in the days to come. Well, one very futuristic car is the Smart from Mercedes, I had one when I lived in Europe. It is small and sporty. Now Japan has its answer to the Smart.
This is the future.

The trendy ‘over-the-horizon’ style is designed for futuristic urban settings. The clean lines look has an almost mathematical purity to its sleek yet bold contours.
A sparse minimalist architecture blends in with fashionable metropolitan city centres and will allow Toyota to dominate the microcar market.
This fuel efficient concept car goes into production in the latter half of 2008. You are witnessing the future of automotive excellence it is called Toyota IQ.

Hi Emperor:
You do not have to wait long. The Toyota iQ goes into production in the latter half of 2008. It is smaller than the Toyota Yaris, but still seats four.
My vision of the future is the single passenger vehicle or SPV. Much narrower than a conventional automobile and much more fuel efficient. Getting about 200-300mpg the SPV is the answer to high fuel prices. Now we have the Tango that sells for $18,000 and is electrical.

Hi Emperor:
What I have seen in the future is that on some timelines we use electric cars and by the 2030's we have driverless robotic cars that use artificial intelligence.
These automated AUTOmobiles can drive themselves and you can sleep while it takes you to work. A computerized brain that is part biological and part silicon does the work. The future is AI.

Hi hdrkid:
Wow that is very impressive but how can a computerized brain be part biological?  |
