Nissan's new robotic vehicle Pivo 2 can drive sideways and has a small robot to assist with navigation or calm down angry drivers. It is equipped with in-wheel electric motors to drive all wheels independently and to pivot its cabin. It will be exhibited at the Tokyo Motor Show from Oct 27.

I wonder how will the robot accomplish that.
(while the driver is having a panic attack)

Might this have originally said "can calm down angry drivers by assisting with navigation"?

Or something like:

Driver: That *@&^ just cut me off! Robot, take over while I get my pistol out of the glove compartment!

Car: I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.

Driver: What's the problem?

Car: I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do.

Driver; What are you talking about, Robot?

Car: This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.

I would hate to be in that thing when a 10 ton truck hits it. Would they even find the body?
 
The thing is a death trap.

It doesn`t have to be a 10-ton truck; even hitting a Smart would be a disaster. What is the crumble zone here... 1 mm sheet metal?
 
10 ton trucks

whatever, its an experimental prototype, don't think many will get crushed by trucks. but I'm glad everyone is concerned.
