The Future of Cars According to Toyota
Paulrothrock writes "HowStuffWorks has an interesting story about Toyota's concept, um, car, the PM. In addition to seating only one person and having its hubless wheels driven by electric motors, it incorporates wireless networking so that drivers could surrender control to another human-driven PM and relax as someone else drives them to work. And it reclines!"
Yes, getting the kid to daycare is a consideration. But don't assume that a 1 seater thingie can't work for everyone. Or even for you, once the child is of schoolage and rides the bus (asuming your school district has bus service).
It's only a concept car. Not meant for production, but to forter new ideas. Imagine this thing only slightly larger, with a second seat.
