Customize your ride with just the push of a button
Concept cars usually fall into one of two categories: cars that eventually make it to production with just a few minor tweaks to their design, and vehicles that are so?mind-blowingly wild that we never actually expect to see them on a city street. The Toyota Fun-Vii falls into the latter category, but we can't help buy hope its insane design elements end up on a real-life roadster somewhere down the line.
Looking more like a touchscreen smartphone than a car, the Fun-Vii is sheathed in an active material that can change its color or graphics instantly. The company touts it as the ultimate in customization, allowing a driver to put any number of messages or gorgeous layouts on the side of their ride. Toyota envisions the Fun-Vii concept being used not only by regular drivers, but also businesses who want eye-catching advertising that can be switched on the fly.
And it's not just the outside of the Fun-Vii that looks like something out of a sci-fi movie, the interior is just as?futuristic. Making generous use of augmented reality technology, the Fun-Vii will plot a virtual path for you right on your windshield, and even offer a virtual guide to help you on your way. Of course, many of these touches still reside firmly in the realm of fantasy, but the fact that a major car company is looking so far ahead gives us hope for a very tech-friendly future.
