Meet the Toyota e-Palette. Curious name, and a similarly curious vehicle. What we have here is Toyota"s stab at a mobility concept; cars as part of a transport system rather than individual, desirable objects we own. Toyota"s teamed up with some interesting names to make it happen, too. Amazon, Pizza Hut and Uber are among the names involved. Parcels, pizza and pub transport, all in one package. Confused? The e-Palette is designed to be an empty box that"s personalised to its client"s needs. So Uber would deck its out with passenger seats and somewhere to plug your Spotify, while Pizza Hut"s would presumably have some warming ovens inside to keep your tea hot. Toyota"s also shown us concepts of mobile science labs, shoe shops and hotel rooms.
