The small “U-squared” vehicle, designed at the company’s Calty studio in Newport Beach, California, was shown at a conference hosted by Make: magazine in San Francisco yesterday and will make a public debut in New York later this month, Toyota said in a statement. The vehicle has a flexible interior for hauling cargo and a retractable utility bar that can be used to support a desk or grocery-bag hooks.
