From the official Press Release:

"In the year 2057 robots have become an integral part of our lives blurring the line between humans and machines."

The Nissan OneOne is the ultimate pet; a friendly, helpful member of the family of the future. 

OneOne (pronounced “won-won,” an endearing Japanese description of a barking dog) takes care of every aspect of the family’s busy lives from retrieving dry cleaning and groceries, to tending to the children. 

Guided by a real time GPS network, OneOne can take the children safely to school, soccer practice and back home in time for dinner.

OneOne takes mobility to a new level.  Using synthetic muscles in its “legs,” it propels itself along by skating, much like you would on a pair of rollerblades. 

From performance car to city car, it lies down for speed or stands up for better visibility, allowing for more nimble navigation and easier parking.

"OneOne fulfills every need from dutiful pet to spirited sports car in a design that makes it a welcomed member of the family."
