Karsan, the Turkish car company in the running to build the Taxi of Tomorrow, is taking this competition seriously. Though the city's poll between the three is closed, Karsan keeps putting out more info about its intriguing take on those yellow cars (which they say is " the only model that fully conforms to the requirements set forth by the mayor." In the past month they've put four CGI videos onto YouTube, one that shows just how versatile their vehicle is, and three that show off the cab's tourist-happy glass roof. And we aren't complaining!
Sick of looking outside and seeing grey skies, snow, rain, ice and sleet? Why not settle into your chair and imagine a warmer future when you can not only hail a cab without climbing a mountain of trash and snow but then recline and look up at all the buildings you ignore on your daily commute.
The city is still evaluating the three final proposals (none of which will actually be made in America) and plans to make an announcement in "several months."
