Ford Motors has come up with a taller but shorter taxi cab. Shorter cabs mean more taxi cabs can fit on the road. The cab has lots of storage space for luggage and is 30% more fuel efficient than today's cabs.
Fred Katayama reports on the new taxi from the New York International Auto Show in the Reuters video clip below. One interesting feature in these new taxis is an orb called the "Sputnik" that you put your money in and turn to pay the cab driver. Automotive News Europe has an article on the new cab. CNET has a slide show. Ford's website also has photos.
