Toyota FT-EV II runs on auto-pilot mode
When the first Toyota FT-EV concept car was displayed at the Detroit show earlier this year, It looked much closer to a production electric Toyota iQ than this new concept car called the Toyota FT-EV II.
The interior has gone completely concept car, while the original FT-EV’s interior looked more like a futuristic iQ’s interior. There are no foot pedals or steering wheel, but only two control levers which you use to drive the car.
But get this – you won’t be driving the car most of the time, as the car is designed to run on auto pilot mode on normal commutes. It can travel up to 90km on a full charge of its lithium ion batteries, and its top speed is limited to over 100km/h which should be more than enough in the city.
Look after the jump for an initial set of four photos that Toyota have released.

The steering looks a bit dangerous if accident. The car looks stupid. Why future must have than kind of look. People need car with better engine, fc comfortable, cheap mantainence and safe. It look stupid to be in a car like this.

1. The way the door opened sideway looks funny in this small car
2. More like the sophisticated version of enhance Smart ForTwo
3. This car will never put into production as they have Toyota Prius
4. What price can this car fetch under MYS everlasting NAP if they really reach MYS shore?
5. Mitsubishi i-MEV looks better and cuter
