Vehicles of the Future

The BBC reports that Toyota has unveiled some unusual and inspiring vehicles. These futuristic vehicles are "worn" by the driver and will be shown at the Expo 2005 in Aichi, Japan, in March 2005. Toyota calls the vehicles personal mobility devices and they include a personal egg-shaped cars and the i-foot which the BBC described as "a two-legged mountable robot-like device that can be controlled with a joystick." The i-foot looks almost like a Robocop contraption. The user can even climb stairs while using the device. Devices like these could be useful for people with disabilities or for jobs where people need extra strength or protection -- like emergency services, security and the military.
