To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the gas-powered taxi in NYC, the Design Trust for Public Space will be debuting new cab concepts at next month's NY International Auto Show.
On display will be concepts for taxis that:
- are battery-powered
- can accommodate wheelchairs and strollers
- have improved passenger cabins
- are hydrogen-powered and can reportedly hit 200 m.p.h.
Good luck finding a clear stretch in Manhattan to pull that last one off!

I am wondering if this idea will be used, if NYC taxicab and taxi system will be revolutionized?
