Anyone seen this? Indie singer Kat Parsons took a tour of the Toyota factory while on a trip to Tokyo. In the video below the fold, Kat takes a ride in a "self driving electric car" that tours the Toyota factory and passes by what may be an electric filling station. Seems Toyota has GM beat on the whole self-driving car thing. The electric car looks like the Toyota E-Com which has a 60-mile range, charges in 2 hours and can go up to 62 miles per hour (electronically limited). According to this web page, E-Coms are currently in trials. I want one!! It looks a bit like the Indian electric car the Reva. On second thoughts, no it doesn't. http://www.revaaustralia.com.au/REVA arrested.pdf
Toyota, always holding their cards close to their chest. Won't GM's Lutz doodie his trowsers when Toyota so completly trumps the Volt, long before it ever gets to the test mule stage.
That is more than enough to get me to and from work. Of course, I'll have to remember to plug it in every night.
