If you hate parking or going in reverse almost as much as you hate paying for gas, you will undoubtedly love the Pivo -- Nissan's spinning EV.
The round cabin of this battery-powered concept actually rotates 360 degrees, allowing the driver to always face forward while driving and eliminating the need to rubberneck. The model featured in this video is dubbed the Pivo 2 and represents the latest variant of the original Pivo concept, first debuted at the 2005 Tokyo Auto Show. It employs a drive-by-wire controls and is powered by a lithium-ion battery. The three-point seating configuration is highly ergonomic and can accommodate a driver plus 2 passengers in relative comfort. And should you find yourself traveling alone, an onboard talking robot living on top of the dash will help pass the time.
