Mercedes announced Monday that it would show a Vision Tokyo concept at the Tokyo Motor Show this week and the car appears ready for soccer team duty, robot-mom style.
The only details made public about the concept are this photo — and that’s it.
That’s left us to speculate on particulars such as powertrain, number of wheels, load height and construction methods. (It has to be 100-percent unobtanium.)
Of course, Mercedes did show off the F 015 Luxury in Motion concept in Geneva and the Consumer Electronics Show, so it’s possible the Vision Tokyo concept follows closely that autonopod-screens-everywhere future.
Or it could be a really elaborate way to cool a juice box on the way to the soccer tournament. Let’s find out together.
(At least it’s not another thinly veiled “concept” that’s pretty much a production model.)
Godzilla will be able to put a really good spiral on those when he tosses them.
Haha. Apparently this has not been run by MB USA’s law department yet.
Probably filled with computers and batteries
The styling is quite attractive like a modern RV. A cool GMC Motorhome or Winnebago.
If it is self-driving it you could imagine some computer geek would try to hack it. ‘Sorry kids, we’re going on a unplanned field trip”.
“Cruise control only regulates speed, Ron; it doesn’t steer…”
I realize there are no side windows (or rear?) because it’s assumed the mutant inhabitants can’t focus beyond the distance to their device screens anyway, but doesn’t that just make it the world’s most advanced molester van?
oh, the wheels on the bus go round and round
round and round
round and round
The wheels on the bus go round and round
all… over town
You’re assuming it *has* wheels; we can’t yet tell.
It could be up on junkyard rims like Murilee’s finds.
Waiting for the next installment of “Nightmare on Elm Street”. Robobus – sounds scary.
We can’t tell there’s 4 wheels even though it’s pretty clear in the picture?
We lookin’ at the same picture?
So what are you seeing.. alloys? steelies? Plymouth Discs?
I’m seeing dark.

So basically they made a Trans-Sport Panel.
