Toyoda Gosei Flesby Concept : 2015 Tokyo Motor Show

Published on Nov 4, 2015

That’s not a typo in the title: this little fluorescent green concept dubbed the Flesby is the creation of Japanese parts manufacturer Toyoda Gosei.

The manufacturer – which is part of the Toyota empire – describes the Flesby as a design concept for “a small mobile unit envisioned for about 2030”.

Unique to the Flesby is its padded, wetsuit-style skin that contains external airbags that inflate to protect pedestrians in a crash.

It also uses LEDs embedded in its green skin to communicate safety information to people nearby in the event of an emergency.

The single-seat Flesby can even change its shape at speed to reduce wind resistance and improve efficiency.
