CES2020: Mercedes-Benz unveils concept car with 'bionic flaps' inspired by film Avatar
The sweeping display is just one of numerous screens inside the car, including in the steering wheel and two tucked behind the headrests of the front seats.
But appearances can be deceiving. Akio Toyoda was actually revealing that the company was building an entire futuristic city across a 175-acre site at foot of Mt Fuji.Construction hasn't yet started on the concept, but the company said it will begin in 2021, building a"prototype town of the future where people live, work, play and participate in a living laboratory".
Joking that the audience may be wondering if he was a Japanese version of Willy Wonka, Mr Toyoda said the town would be known as Woven City and would be"a small but hopefully significant step" towards making the world a better place.American electric utility truck maker Tropos Motors also showed off its designs for a fire engine.
