While Toyota is a frequent exhibitor at the NY Auto Show, this year they’ve gone full gung-ho in regards to living up to their tagline, ‘Moving Forward’. They’ve come to display their innovations towards their vision of the future of driving. They have their fuel cell-powered concept vehicle, the FV2 concept, and the super-compact iROAD motorcycle alternative. 
Starting with their FCV that utilizes hydrogen combined w/ the oxygen in the air to power the electric motors. This makes for a truly zero emissions leaving behind nothing but water vapor. Their FCV offers more mile range + quicker fill ups over electric-powered vehicles. Toyota’s FCV concept resembles the Prius in design as they (for some reason) retain using smaller profile wheels on the alternative fuel vehicles. Which makes it look a bit off at 1st glance. But this looks to become a reality sooner than you think as Toyota is prepping to launch a fuel cell-powered sedan sometime in 2015.
Next we have Toyota’s Future Mobility Concept w/ the FV2. This is designed to connect with the driver physically. This utilizes their intelligent transport system that uses you shifting your body to move the vehicle left, right, forward, & back instead of using a steering wheel. Looks like something used in Tron: Legacy. As you have a weird LED display on the wheel and rear areas to add to the more shiny, futuristic approach. Whether you agree with me or not, I am very curious to see how this moves in real-life situations.
And lastly, Toyota has an even more compact vehicle called the iROAD. It allows you to a lean system that raises & lowers the front wheels to tilt into a turn without flipping over. Believe it or not, the iROAD support 2 passengers as it is made for short rides up to 30-miles. Think of it as 3-wheeled motorcycle w/ the stability of a car. Again, another vehicle that has piqued my curiosity to see in real-world conditions. Toyota: moving forward indeed.
