Nissan has unveiled it’s new Pivo Concept Car. It’s a new electric car with asthetics by renowned Japanese artist Takashi Murakami. From the press release:

Pivo, which will be on display at this year’s Tokyo Motor Show, features an innovative cabin that revolves 360 degrees, eliminating the need to reverse. Thanks to its compact body, the car is also exceptionally easy to maneuver.

The three-seater car comes with a number of user-friendly technologies, including Nissan’s Around View Monitor which reduces blind spots by displaying the outside surroundings on screens mounted on the inside of the car’s A-pillars located on either side of the windshield. A dash-mounted infrared (IR) commander allows the driver to operate the navigation and stereo systems with simple finger movements without letting go of the steering wheel.

Pivo is powered by Nissan’s compact, high-performance lithium-ion battery and its unique Super Motor, resulting in zero emissions.

I’m not one for bubble cars, but that revolving cabin looks cool. It would enable you to spin around and flip the bird to motorists behind you while they get the full impact of your facial expressions, without them having to squint and try reading them in your rear view mirror. Less distractions.
