He's highly under exposed. He is obsessed with the word "tipping." The i-Road leans, doesn't tip. Bicycles lean, skiiers lean, runners lean, all of them into the corner, not to the outside like a car.
Genius solution for dense populations. Very small for dense traffic in areas like New York or Hong Kong, hold 2 people, fully electric means no more nasty emissions. Don't get me wrong, I love sports cars and trucks. But those are a little overwhelming in big cities.
These types of cars have been around for years. I must have seen one on TV over 5 years ago now and it was very very similar. They seem to pop up somewhere once a year but nothing really goes further than that. I think one of these type of things were on the show Gadget Man a couple months ago.
Ever heard of the Carver One? That was a delta (one wheel in front) rather than a tadpole (one in back), but still also a three-wheeler leaned by computer control. It was actually produced and sold, although not in enough numbers to keep the company afloat.
This is the first vehicle to feature the best of both the car and the motorbike: it's narrow, it leans, you're out of the weather, you're surrounded by armor. In total contrast is the sidecar: it's wide, doesn't lean, you're in the weather, and openly vulnerable in crashes. Both are fun, which do you want to commute in?
you know how this would sell? if they actually sell it (there's like half a dozen concepts from different companies just like this, I wish someone would have the guts), if it can do 0-60 in at least 9 seconds, do 80 mph, have a gas at least 200cc engine instead of all electric, does at least 70 to the gallon city, and if they put a good boot to fit 3 large grocery bags. What else yeah sell it cheap, no morethan 4k.
Not sales good in USA or western country. I think this concept car only success in Asian or Japan only, I mean it fit well to big urban city where there over population ppl living, the street is small & narrow, parking is hard to find. In USA, Canada, Australia,etc..I don't think ppl from there will buy this. If they sell this in my country, with lower cheaper price, k mean affordable price, I'll buy this one for sure & many ppl will buy this. But idk max range, i read somewhere max range to 60km???
It's brilliant. Separates leaning and directional/propulsion functions. It would be unnatural for us humans, but the computer has no problem with it. Probably has a bunch of safety overrides built in too.
It's so weird this car reminds me so much on Anime What is going on in those heads ? That made this car It looks so Futuristic ! From Fiction to Reality my god I want one
nice concept but how can you give someone a ride in that thing like, i dont know. I hot girl who want to ride your, motercycle, car, hybrid thing I don't know, I'm just throwing out random issues and thin
It's about the attitude, mate! It is a strange vehicle but if you rock up in it looking embarrassed that you're driving it, people are gonna think you're a loser who doesn't want to be there but if you show how proud you are of your weird hybrid thing, you'll look like a man with confidence and a sight for the future. And with that you might be able to pick up a girl with curiosity alone, lol.
Reasonable design. And it won't be so bad on highways if safety is ok on this thing. ps: Whole this i-things are so pathetic. Really don't understand Intel, BMW and now Toyota with these names. Don't want support it just because of that.
Toyota have had this awesome teleporter since 2013 and they don't sell it. Maybe because consumers don't desire it, maybe because Toyota are pure evil. Someone tell me the truth
So, this car is very comfortable to se in city, only in city. It's always comfortable to parking, drive, but this car is looking like Smart(car). I'm sure, that i'll never buy THIS car.
Amazing vehicle. "I see you in the future, suckers" Haha. Josh is great.
That ending.
"I see you in the future, sucker", best end comment ever and need to be T-shirted :-)
Looks cool. I hope this comes to the US at some point.
This car looks amazing! I probably will not ever use it for a long ride; but for everyday things, it looks amazing.
That car is awesome !
It's innovative it's small and compact
This is a great piece! Josh sure knows how to journalize.
He's highly under exposed. He is obsessed with the word "tipping." The i-Road leans, doesn't tip. Bicycles lean, skiiers lean, runners lean, all of them into the corner, not to the outside like a car.
Bwhahaha "Americans are to big to fit inside the i-Road"
Wow, great work with the Sun and the camera
That looks epic. I want one.
That looks like a blast.
The Toyota i-Road Concept car looks awesome. I must have one of these in 2020.
That thing looks so fun to drive!
Genius solution for dense populations. Very small for dense traffic in areas like New York or Hong Kong, hold 2 people, fully electric means no more nasty emissions. Don't get me wrong, I love sports cars and trucks. But those are a little overwhelming in big cities.
Awesome concept car as well as this video.
Joshua is awesome!
I want it now!!!
this is just the best! video and car
This thing is a perfect fit for a car sharing service

Ones balanced by a computer and that leans into the corner? Cite one!

Daily commute from work to the office! hehe
My friend closed the door on this thing at the NY Auto Show a few years back and the window fell off the track lmao
That is confusingly cool!
"That's the Toyota i-Road, i'll see you in the future, suckers." ...I fucking love Josh
I like it. Toyota is moving in a good direction.
I think they are leaning towards a better future
Really cool car
Just gunna lean over to grab my milkshake....wait....WAIT....FUCCKKK!!
wow this is amazing
It looks pretty cool but apple will make em change the name lol

Lol @ the DBZ music in the intro
Would a 6’3” person fit in this thing?
AWESOME!!
I want this car so bad!
See you in the future suckers!
damn this is awesome!
The best 1 seat eletric "car" ever!
Just going to lean over to grab my milkshake....Wait..Waiittt!! FUCKKK!
If it's cheap enough and sold in the US I'll take one!
Where is the iroad. Why isnt it released yet.
Not sales good in USA or western country. I think this concept car only success in Asian or Japan only, I mean it fit well to big urban city where there over population ppl living, the street is small & narrow, parking is hard to find.

But idk max range, i read somewhere max range to 60km???
Joshua I love you!!!
Where can I buy one to use in Scotland?
Is it slow or is that just because they are driving it around the car park?
AMAAAAAZIIIIINGGGGG
Can you imagine if they put Nilay in that thing, that would have been so entertaining.
Too bad cars like this would never sell.
Too bad things change.
What are the names of the songs used?
Wow nice I wonder how much is it
That due is cool
That's basically a Carver but with two wheels in front in stead of the back.
awesome
Why does this design remind me of the light cycles from Tron?
this is awesome.
So the Verge staff is apparently either sleeping at work or in the office :D watch from 1:35
hehe, "it's really nice if you're just going from WORK to the OFFICE..." :b
I see many concepts like this, but not so much in production, congested cities desperately need these.
I just saw the future!
rear wheel drive and rear wheel steering ? interesting, but i'm not sure that is the best combination
It's brilliant. Separates leaning and directional/propulsion functions. It would be unnatural for us humans, but the computer has no problem with it. Probably has a bunch of safety overrides built in too.
whats the electro song you guys used in here?
It's so weird this car reminds me so much on Anime
What is going on in those heads ? That made this car
It looks so Futuristic !
From Fiction to Reality my god I want one
What song is that?!
didn't Renault did this years ago?
...however a good start ...
Do tell me when you've ever gone from "work to the office"?
Try it on the snow )))))
price?
looks fun as long as noone you know sees you
Did J.J Abrams shoot this video?Dem lens flares man!
It's California, lens flare is just away of life. ;)
double passenger? doesn't look big enough for another adult inside
Only if they are in a loving relationship.
Where's Ziegler?
Badass
Why not make a pick-up version for the American market!
Прикольный аппарат:)
как по мне не особо.
leon cuprumты тупица значит
Согласен, аппарат супер - для больших городов и хороших дорог!
Great video, however seems like the people who buy this would be more suited for public transport.
5 years ago, still no sign.
Ummm, Renault did this last year. Google "twizy". In Valladolid, Spain are some of those and anyone with 5000€ can buy one.
Ummm, the Twizy doesn't lean into turns. Try again.
Take my money!
But.... The real question is: Will it blend?
omg!!! lol!! (-:
Now..2019 and still not on the market to buy
WHY does this stuff take soooo long to come out?
So it is a Carver..
newsflash !!! not everyone is tall and scared of turns like you
My thoughts exactly "We americans are too big"
Toyota should sell it in the Philippines because too much traffic.
Geeky 🚀
Morgan threewheeler ? Hahahaha
Take my money
India me milega
now thats how to do a fun video, take a note other *yawn* verge reporters!
Its too small, I dont want to feel compressed when driving. I want something spacious.
All the people who have test driven it said that it was very spacious and above what they expected.

Introducing the new I-Road from Toyota, repelling women from your everyday lifestyle since 2016.
And what if it rains?...-__-"
It gets wet..?
matteo mazzoni no , it will change into transfomers
So, this car is very comfortable to se in city, only in city. It's always comfortable to parking, drive, but this car is looking like Smart(car). I'm sure, that i'll never buy THIS car.
Only skinny people fit in that car
Josh is no tiny person. And the trike is a prototype...
