The giant robot character seeks to promote traffic safety. The robot can shoot light beams from its eyes in the same way that Hiace's brights can improve visibility for drivers at night and locate pedestrians.


But having your high lights on makes conditions less safe because they can blind people facing the car. Around here, it's illegal to have your high lights on in busy areas.

Nevertheless, I'm all for anything that educates people on safe driving, especially if it's presented in a way that people will listen. I hope they address the dangers of drunk driving, as well as distracted driving (driving while on the phone or texting).

Toyota making a real Transformer vehicle is definitely moving forward. Last thing you want is a recall on that.
