Toyoda unveiled a “smartphone on wheels” concept car that he said portends a future of interconnected vehicles that are as customizable as cellphones.
the car is a black, wedge-shaped obelisk whose entire outer skin is a video display screen.
Drivers can customize the skin of the car to display anything from stock quotes and advertising to pictures downloaded from their mobile phones.
He said the three-seat Fun-Vii aims to add a fourth dimension of interconnectivity to the traditional functions of driving, turning and stopping.

Other features on the concept -- envisioned for what Toyota dubbed the year 20XX -- include an auto pilot function and an onboard 3D hologram avatar that helps with such things as traffic directions and en route shopping.
And by linking with a smart grid outside the car, the Fun-Vii can help the driver avoid road hazards and keep them continuously connected with friends in other vehicles or at home.
