"Toyota reveals mobi during Japan Mobility Show 2025, an electric bubble car for kids that takes them anywhere on its own and without adult supervision on board. On view at the event between October 30th and November 9th, the prototype forms part of the company's Mobility for All project, which aims to create vehicles that can transport anyone, regardless of age or ability."
"The prototype uses AI to drive itself, and the system controls the direction, speed, and movement in the traffic. As soon as the child is strapped in, they can talk to the AI assistant called UX Friend, which gives the young driver friendly instructions on how to 'drive' the autonomous pod as well as talk to them throughout the ride."
"Parents who would like to entrust their kids and their safety on the road to AI can try Toyota's electric bubble car, mobi. As the company shows it during the Japan Mobility Show 2025, the round and closed shape of the vehicle can allow it to protect the child inside it during the ride. The seat is covered with fuzzy material to make the child feel at home, and the interiors are wide enough to accommodate them comfortably."
Toyota revealed mobi at the Japan Mobility Show 2025, exhibited October 30 to November 9 as part of the Mobility for All project. The vehicle is a micro, spaceship-inspired electric pod designed to transport children without adult passengers onboard. Adults place the child inside via an upward-swinging door and secure them in a fuzzy, comfortable seat. Onboard AI controls direction, speed and movement while sensors and cameras detect obstacles. An AI assistant called UX Friend instructs and converses with the child during the ride. The round, closed shape aims to protect occupants; lightweight plastics or composites likely form the outer body.
