Hope it's better than the fingerprint recognition in my Galaxy Note10+

Will there be any electric versions of the car?

Is the security for domestic or export cars I wonder?

It depends on the situation. If you incidentally drive into a false area and become entangled by 20 or 50 machete wielding immigrants in a European country, or if you get in the US into amidst a demonstration of Trump vs. Biden followers or in the evening a quite usual gang shooting in Chicago happens, then you surely wish even for a real tank instead of such a toy like the SUV is in such a situation. lol In many other scenarios you might be right and even a small Japanese Kei car is sufficient to bring you from A to B. In other words, the car should correspond with the surrounding of nature or any types of humans.

I know certain models are stolen in Tokyo and Nagoya for example, for illegal shipment abroad, but cars in Japan generally do not have or need those aftermarket safety features like alarms etc. that you find in the West.
Thus my question above. Are Toyota thinking of the export market here, or sadly Japan’s modern domestic market, or both?

New designs, which look very much inspired by GM or Ford, with the heavy duty, bulky front ends.

Where there is demand there will always be supplies, NOTHING will stop a thief because he is just as cleaver if not even more cleaver than the inventor.

Oh forgot to mention, in many cases the thief works hand in hand with the inventor, LOL

Ridiculous. Many things stop many thieves. Some thieves will get creative and figure out ways past security. Your thinking is binary whereby the existence of any way to get past security means the thing is entirely useless. The reality is a scale, not a binary option.

In Japan, there is no need for these massive tractors-they’re just a waste of fuel
