New personal mobility concept from Toyota shown at Tokyo motor show

Toyota has revealed a new take on personal mobility vehicles at the Tokyo motor show with the debut of its new FV2.

Toyota says its designed to demonstrate driving fun. A single-seat urban mobility concept, the FV2 doesn't use a steering wheel, instead relying on the driver shifting their body weight to change direction and effect forward and backwards motion.
