By Reid Jones on December 16, 2011

The world’s obsession with social networking has caught up with the automotive industry. Over a week ago leading car manufacturer Toyota showed off it latest concept in forward thinking with the Toyota Fun-Vii, a 13-foot three-seater that is actually more a design brag than a practical way to drive around looking like a gigantic touchscreen cellphone.The Vii that follows the company name is short for “Vehicle interactive internet.” The interior of the car is interactive with the World Wide Web and controllable via smartphone. A good part of the vehicle consists of huge touchscreens that can adjust the car’s color and graphics display. It can also go on auto drive and take its passengers from a particular point to a certain destination as programmed. Toyota admitted that as of the time being it doesn’t plan to mass produce the Fun-Vii.
