The Nissan Pivo 2 is an environmentally friendly, electric concept car which combines cutting edge technologies with user friendly innovations and a Robotic Agent creating a fundamental shift in the relationship between vehicle and driver. Building on the first Pivo concept car, displayed in 2005, which had a rotating cabin eliminating the need for reversing, the Nissan Pivo 2, adds rotating wheels to make parallel parking or parking in congested streets a simple process of driving straight into the parking spot. The robotic agent infers the drivers mood through the use of facial monitoring software and conversation, and is programmed to cheer up or soothe the driver, depending on the situation. By using independent, high powered, disc-shaped motors to power all four wheels, the Pivo 2 has a more spacious interior. The layout of the interior places the driver in front, with the instrument panel and steering wheel integrated into the front door, with lounge chair like passenger seats enabling comfortable seating for three occupants.
