This is the front view or rather where the steering wheel is. The cabin can rotate on the wheels so there is no need to reverse. You can ease it into a parking lot sideways.
That small round thing is a robot which speaks. Being an electric car, it is also supposed to be eco-friendly.
Isn't the Nissan Pivo cute? I came across this demo video and thought I heard the model ask the robot where the parking lot is. We may not need the robot now...
