Technology:
It is in the International Tokyo Toy Show held last July that Toyota
exhibited the Camatte that attracted great attention from children. The Camatte
is a three seated vehicle. It is 2,700 mm long, 1,300 mm wide and 1,200 mm
high, and its wheelbase is 1,800 mm. It was developed by Toyota
in alliance with Znug Design founded by ex-designer of Toyota. The user of a Camatte can disassemble
and assemble it as if it is a toy in half a day. You can detach the front half
of the body by unscrew the four knobs on the hood and headlights. It is often
said that the pursuit of mass production is not successful in developing a
vehicle that consumers accept with excitement.
Technology is
advancing rapidly. ZMP developed a robocar. Based on Toyota’s Prius, the robocar automatically
operates the accelerator and brake, and avoids obstacles. Interested in this
robocar, Microsoft supports this company with the collection and analysis of
such vehicle information as engine revolution, acceleration, and deceleration
using its own cloud computing environment. The founder was involved in a
project to develop a small robot and convinced that robots would change people
life dramatically in 10 years. He came across with an excellent American
programmer at home in analyzing vehicle information and developed the robocar in
alliance with him. Some say that more young people will lose interest in
vehicles in the future, and automakers are absorbed in searching the ways to
around their curiosity.
