Just like car manufacturers have started infiltrating the Customer Gadgets Display in Las vegas, the same pattern might be beginning at the CEATEC show in Japan. Last week, we revealed you a making of the Toyota Smart INSECT, but now we're getting our first live look at the single-seat Electric car.
Although its style is very bug-like, the Smart INSECT's name is actually an abbreviation that appears for "Information Network Social Electric City Transporter," and it is a sensible automobile in that it allows customers to connect a smart phone. That is not to say this car does not look the aspect of its INSECT name with a bug-eyed experience and wing-like gates, but this idea is all about displaying of the technological innovation.
Some of the technical gadgetry found within the car includes motion sensors, speech identification and even Toyota's cloud-based "Smart Center." Using Ms kinect, the car can identify when the car owner is nearing the vehicle and open the corresponding entrance based on which side of the car they are on. Once within, the car owner can get connected to a virtual operator to control systems like routing and audio, and it can also get connected to the driver’s home via a smart phone to control systems like door locks and air conditioner.
In what seems to be more of an work out of what type of connection can be provided in vehicles rather than displaying off an real car, Toyota says it has no programs to create development edition of the Smart INSECT.
