Auto Car | Nissan Pivo concept car with Papero the robotic driver | The rebel pilots in Star Wars had R2D2 like droids to assist them in flying and in case of trouble the bots took care of the repairs, boosted the shields and so on, Nissan has something similar and has developed a car which has a talking robot. The Pivo 2 is a successor to the Pivo which was unveiled way back in 2005. Like its predecessor the three seater electric car has wheels which can turn 90 degrees for easy parallel parking and a cabin which can revolve 360 degrees eliminating the need to reverse.
The car has "by-wire" technologies that use electric signals in the steering and braking. Coming to the round eyed robotic assistant the Papero it has cameras which monitor the driver constantly. "You look tired. There's a coffee shop 500 meters ahead on the left," it told a driver with drooping eyelids at a recent demonstration. If it sense the driver is in a bad mood it will nod or shake its head to improve the mood.
Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., today unveiled the Pivo 2, an advanced electric concept car that will debut at the upcoming Tokyo Motor Show. Pivo 2 builds on the popularity of the first Pivo, shown at the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show. Powered by advanced Compact Lithium-ion Batteries and featuring a unique rotating cabin - meaning no reverse gear required - the first Pivo became a cult hit at shows from Beijing to Geneva.
