(from Toyota Press
Release) With the college enrollment rate at an estimated
81%, the youth of 2030 are one of the most intelligent and proactive
generations yet. The Toyota LINK is an affordable customizable, mass
transit vehicle for students with high social networking demands and
continuously evolving preferences. With little-to-no disposable
income, these students are now able to once again enjoy their
commute in a world where transportation has become more expensive
and less appealing.
Students can meet at various HUBs to pick up their LINKs. Once
occupied, the LINK seamlessly links onto a transportation social
network, allowing connections with other drivers to share the
commute, trade music, or compare class schedules. Made with Toyota's
newly patented electro fiber technology, "LINK SKINZ" can be
downloaded to digitally transform the vehicle's shape into a
personalized exterior design. In place of traditional wheels, the
LINK drives on SPHERES made of an electro conductive material that
converts friction into energy, recharging the batteries and
satisfying the driver's high standards of a maximized eco-friendly
vehicle.
