'Pivoting' Nissan Concept Car All Electronic


A new, electric concept car by Nissan has a cab that can do a 180 while the tires remain on the pavement, which enables you to drive in the direction you came from without ever going in reverse. Called the Pivo, the car is controlled with a "DRIVE-BY-WIRE" system, meaning that steering, braking and shifting are not done by mechanical linkages, but by electronic signals. The dash is loaded with monitors displaying feeds from outside-pointing cameras for total situational awareness. All controls are on the steering wheel. Extended front and rear bumpers -- who can tell which is front and which is rear? -- double as seats for kicking back while the Pivo is parked.

Looks like something out of a science fiction but is also cute and cartoon like or "Kawaii" as they call it over in Japan. Why does the cab spin around like the way a tanks top part does? To look silly like the Jetsons. LOL. Really, it's so cute and girlyfied. LMAO.
