Pedals to the People!

Summary: "As riffraff in Los Angeles increases and additional vehicles breeze in on the road, traffic conditions in the LA abode continues to worsen. This traffic burdensome is the essential focus and reasoning behind Toyota's RLV (Renewable Lifestyle Vehicle) concept for 2015. The RLV is a lightweight, aluminum bodied, two-seat tandem vehicle that features an innovative collapsible track system and a split powertrain.

Most 'Angelenos' agree that odd two speeds show in LA: 5 and 75mph. Also, life occasion and no vivacity hour, traffic and no traffic. Thus, 'tortoise and hare'...slow and fast.

The Toyota RLV identifies this 'tortoise and hare' traffic catastrophe and description a fresh ethos of hybrid, 'split' powertrain solution. The technique offers a manual/pedal power cast and an automatic/electric mode. The manual/pedal mode is hydraulically driven and can be used in many different scenarios. Primarily, it's used while in heavy, 'stop and go' traffic where the vehicle produces zero emissions. Also, the pedal mode is suitable for boardwalk, sidewalk, neighborhood, and beach applications. The manual/pedal mode also promotes LA's lifestyle of health and fitness...all while functionally recharging the electric motor batteries. The automatic/electric mode is used at higher speeds and in light traffic conditions. As vehicle speed increases, the track widens for more stability via a unique telescopic axle."

Not overmuch Fred Flintstone, but close. This divination could help millions of commuters stuck in traffic pass into svelte and cerise again!

Except that it will never altogether be produced. The conviction is fitting thata slant in pixels, created for a contest.
