Tokyo Motor Show Art Imitating Life

http://www.pinktentacle.com/2007/10/dre ... show-2007/

I found this to be quite ironic considering the current discussion about Gundam 00 It seems that a Haro controlled MS a has basis in reality.
From Pink Tentacle.com:
Like Nissan’s original Pivo, the electric-powered Pivo 2’s four individually-powered wheel units turn 90 degrees to move the car in any direction, while the 360-degree rotating cabin allows the driver to face forward at all times. Pivo 2’s most notable upgrade is the dashboard-mounted NEC Papero robotic agent who can carry on conversations and read facial expressions to monitor the driver’s condition. In addition to assisting with basic vehicle functions, Papero can help navigate streets and look for parking spaces, suggest where to stop for coffee if the driver looks sleepy, and lighten the mood by nodding and acting happy

:shock: Gah! Haros! IRL!

I seriously find that vehicle disturbing... Haros in Gundam are just annoying, that thing is... that thing is creepy... :?
Don't call it a comeback...
...in fact, it's best if you forget I was ever here before.

I kinda liked Olbermann's take on it.

"And it spouts soothing, calming words at you while you flip off other motorists."

Honestly..these are very ugly designs...they try to make it look futuristic or something...and it turned out pretty odd..

For some reason, this was just begging for Athrun Zala to drive it.

I don't see all the beam sabers, though.

And it needs to be painted fresh-bruise-purple, too.

I think he meant that he should be riving that car because Athrun drived a pretty awesome car in GSD in the first few eps.
