Fuji Heavy Industries (FHI) has released the Chiffon light wagon.
Daihatsu Motor Co Ltd supplies it as an OEM (original equipment manufacturer), and it is a "sibling" of the Tanto that Daihatsu partially remodeled and released Nov 30. Its price ranges from ¥1,285,200 to 1,873,800. FHI aims to sell 800 units of the Chiffon per month.
As in the case of the partially-remodeled Tanto, FHI equipped all of the models of the Chiffon with the "Smart Assist III" driving assistance system as a standard feature. It enables to avoid vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian collisions just by using a stereo camera.
The stereo camera is manufactured by Denso Corp, and the distance between its right and left lenses is as short as 80mm. Because its size is small, it can be easily used for light vehicles.

But what stops other vehicles from making scrap of the minuscule Chiffon?

Why not call a Subaru a Subaru and not an FHI? It doesn't say FHI anywhere on the car, it says Subaru.

Indeed. Considering FHI's company name is changing to Subaru in April, you'd think some choreography might be benefit a brand (that isn't mentioned once in this).
But hey, it's only a press release...

Chiffon is certainly a substance known for its lightness. But whether that is exactly what you would want in a car, well, that's debatable...

This thing kind of looks like the Lost In Space Chariot.
