Nice design. But I hope Kawamori invests more of his time on doing a new Macross series!

Kawamori rearranged the design of the system to turn it into a robot character for a promotional campaign.


He didn't rearrange anything he completely made it up. Laughing

From what I can tell "EyeSight" is simply a set of stereo cameras for depth perception on the front and rear of the car. Not any sort of external system that can be 'rearranged'.

A system which is already in a lot of cars. In fact I was driving a 2-year-old car recently with exactly this system. If they are only bundling it with their cars from 2013 onwards they are behind the times. Is that why they are trying to make it look futuristic?

I find these sorts of promotional campaigns strange.
