A concept car equipped with external airbags to protect against fender benders is raising eyebrows at the Tokyo Motor Show.

The body panels of the Flesby II ultra-compact vehicle are covered by a soft, next-generation rubber that can absorb the impact of a collision.

"We put airbags, which are mainly employed inside the car, on its exterior, such as its hood or fender, to protect the entire body,"

Takashi Ishikawa, managing officer of Toyoda Gosei, said on Wednesday.

Toyoda Gosei, a manufacturer of rubber and plastic automotive parts and LEDs, came up with the idea for the concept car in 2013.

The company said on its website the rubber is able to move with electric power and change the shape of the car body.

LED lights projected onto the rubber also allow the driver to communicate with pedestrians and other vehicles, the company said.

"In the event of contact with a pedestrian, the soft body serves a safety function in absorbing the impact," the company said.

The company hopes to introduce Flesby II by 2030.

I tell u. this generation has witnessed a lot of unimaginable tech advancements. And even more to come. We should be ashamed of always being the consumer

There is still so much wrong with my beloved country! While so many youths are fighting over our oil and resources in the ground, the world is leaving us behind in technological advancement, which is the genuine way of creating wealth and advancing nation's! The richest and most robust economies no longer depend on one resource in the ground, the richest minds don't spend all their energy on pastors proclaiming God will make you a millionaire before the end of the year,without any tangible or visible work, God has already blessed you with a very powerful tool called the mind,utilise it,harness it,develops it,do not cage.it with schooling or certifications or norms,let it fly and grow wild, stop wasting your energies on pdp and apc, the power to change your lives lies in you, find problems,find challenges, let ur mind explore,and the solutions are the answers to the freedom you seek! Kudos to all the nation's that have learnt the true meaning of wealth creation! May we get there someday

Damn! #TRON LEGACY

If Dangote trailer should hit that car, i tell you it wont be able to protect anything

Good innovation. My Benin people will be jealous.

Nyc

in terms of technology ,nigeria and a big part of africa is eons behind other parts of the world

Here in Africa, we claim we use spiritual methods for protection from accidents, look how far it has got us

The future is definitely going to be mind blowing to the present generation as it's always the case. How I wish I can peep into the year 2500AD. Our generation would have colonized space, human would have discovered a way to live to 500 years, evolution as a result of technology would have taken a different route on us making us look completely different from what we look now..... I just can't stop imagining

L ;Dooks like d white guy in big hero 6

Nice

wrong thread




TOY CAR

Bad news to panel beaters/painters.

Well said Frankboy 1.
The question is how many will listen? We have become​ so used to laziness and mediocrity. Follow follow, overnight millionaires without doing anything, stunch followers of men of God rather than God Himself. Worshippers of men than of God.

Which way Nigeria?

Car, cucumber, tennis ball or a bug?
Me a yam not understanding o

Me I believe say naija fit do more just that our youths no wan start as dem dey wait for big money before them start.
For me o I dey work on neurotelepathy. Imagine being able to communicate without actually opening your mouth just thoughts using wireless data streaming protocol

Danfo drivers be like

Nawa. Let's showcase our unbreakable pencil factory.
