Quite the opposite as suppliers are fighting for the spotlight and Toyota Boshoku is among them. A member of the Toyota Group, the company will display two Mobility as a Service concepts that provide a glimpse at the interior of the future.
The first concept is known as the MX221 and it’s envisioned as a ride-hailing vehicle with a Level 4 autonomous driving system. The concept embraces the idea of “diversatility” and features a reconfigurable interior.The first configuration is known as MX Pass and it features four seats in a traditional two row configuration. The MX Plus configuration also has two rows of seats, but they face each other.
The Moox concept is envisioned as a fully-autonomous Level 5 vehicle. Essentially a mobile box, thus the name, the concept is envisioned to fit various applications ranging from business and dining to entertainment. The Wellness Edition uses sensors in the seats and armrests to determine your fatigue and stress levels. If you’re stressed, the Moox can try to calm you down by showing videos of a forest on its displays. As this occurs, the lights and audio system change to mimic the forest feel, while a “relaxing aroma” is released. If that’s a little too boring, occupants can play games using their hands and arms as controllers, thanks to gesture recognition technology.
The Tourism Entertainment Edition is similar, but it’s meant to promote attractions and entertainment. The company also released a video showing the Moox envisioned as everything from a mobile store to a mobile office and even a doctor’s office.
