That's funny! I wonder if those people are thinking "sure I'm getting paid, but boy this sucks".

Seems Toyota is borrowing from nature and emulating the Armadillidium Vulgare* (Pill Bug, Roly Poly Bug).

When it senses danger it simply rolls up into a protective ball.

Might make for better cornering speeds that way. :)

The one on the left must be Toyota's response to Honda's Asimo.

Aren't all Toyotas larger and more crude in conception, design, and manufacture than Hondas?

I would agree. it's a quality/quantity issue.

So, the ¥¥¥assimo will work unbelligerently until it fails at 60K miles?

Good work, To¥ota!!
