Vehicle of the Week: Toyota PM

This week's winner is a concept car by Toyota: the PM (I think it stands for "Personal Mobility"). Cindy and I found this while on a trip to Odaiba, at the Toyota City Showcase.





The Toyota website has this to say about the PM:

"The PM is a personal mobility vehicle that 'fits like a glove' to create a feeling of unity between the driver and the vehicle. Cutting-edge vehicle-to-vehicle communications technologies are employed under the concept of "meeting, linking and hanging out together".

I'm sorry I can't provide a better look at the interior, but we were not aloud in the vehicle.





The wheel concept is very different--as you can see, there are no axles.





You have to wonder how practical it would be to own one of these. Still, you have to admit, it looks very cool. And the Toyota emblem on front, it seems somehow legitimate. Who knows? Maybe someday...
