Toyota launches FT-Me, a pedal-less city vehicle

Toyota has introduced the FT-Me, a compact two-seat vehicle designed to compete with the Citroen Ami and Microlino. This concept model is lightweight at 425kg and measures 2.5 meters long, making it suitable for city driving. The FT-Me features a unique design inspired by jet helmets and uses recycled materials to reduce its environmental impact. It includes a removable passenger seat, smartphone integration, and can be operated with hand commands. While specific technical details are not yet available, the FT-Me is expected to have a range of at least 100 kilometers per charge and a top speed of 28 mph. Toyota has not confirmed its availability in the UK but plans a subscription service in Mainland Europe.
