Incase you are keeping a track on the concept designs that the big daddies from Japan have been dishing out recently, then pencil in the i-REAL as well. It boasts of the nation’s robotics technology. This roofless plush armchair scampers about on wheels, with buttons and controls on the arms. It changes positions, straightening up to move slowly among pedestrians or lying back to travel faster at nearly 20 mph.
It employs “perimeter monitoring sensors to detect when a collision with a person or object is imminent and alerts the driver by emitting a noise and vibrating.”
