"It&amp;#039;s back! The quirky Nissan Pivo that made its debut at the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show has been updated and returned to the show floor. Like the first iteration, the Pivo 2 looks like a billiard ball perched on wheels.   It has a unique rotating cabin that eliminates the need for a reverse gear. Pull into a parking space, and instead of backing up, the Pivo pivots its entire cabin, allowing the vehicle to be driven forward out of the space.   The update includes the addition of a new lithium ion battery pack and wheels that are now powered by hub-mounted electric motors. This new arrangement allows all four wheels to turn through 90 degrees, which enables the Pivo 2 to be driven sideways as well.   An onboard &amp;quot;Robotic Agent,&amp;quot; which can be conversed with in either Japanese or English, provides a unique interface that Nissan says will &amp;quot;make every journey less stressful.&amp;quot; This voice-control system not only provides information on vehicle functions, but assists in navigation, traffic reports and even finding parking.
