Pedal-Less Driving, Land Hopper, And Other Cool Toyota Concepts Coming To Japan Mobility Show

Toyota has prepared exciting road-going EV concepts for the 2023 Japan Mobility Show, such as a potentialFord Maverick fighter called EPU. To make things more interesting, the automaker will diversify the lineup with wild electric mobility concepts that should bring new levels of excitement to eventgoers.

Chief among these is the so-called Neo Steer. While it looks like something similar to theyoke steering wheel option from Tesla，the Neo Steer offers more than just a neat design. The steering wheel - based on motorcycle handlebars - integrates the functions of the accelerator and brake pedals, leaving more space for the driver's legs.

If that doesn't sound crazy enough, Toyota will unveil a concept designed to be used "on the moon and in outer space." Dubbed Space Mobility, the buggy-looking prototype has an electric motor on each wheel, providing better traction in unpredictable extraterrestrial environments. Toyota claims the concept can navigate boulders up to 20 inches tall and climb steep 25-degree slopes.

However, this isn't the first time Space Mobility has been uncovered. Last year, Toyota demonstrated the prototype's capabilities, including a four-wheel steering similar to thecrabwalk of the GMC Hummer EV. This joins theLunar Cruiserin the brand's peculiar yet interesting outer space portfolio.
