Nissan’s Pivo 2: Tailgate the Car Next to You, Too

by Christine Huang

nissanpivo2_hi_010.jpgToday at the Tokyo Motor Show, Nissan unveiled their Pivo 2 concept car, an electric vehicle that can drive sideways and forward, equipped with 90-degree turning wheels, a full 360-degree turning cabin, and by-wire technologies for braking and steering.

No word yet on whether or not this thing will ever hit the road - but wouldn’t that be cool?
