At the 2016 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS), Toyota unveiled a research vehicle based on the Mirai fuel cell vehicle which is equipped with satellite communications technology from Kymeta, a U.S.-based company that is the world's leader in flat-panel antenna technology. Since September 2013, Toyota and Kymeta have been jointly researching on-car flat antennae to support satellite distribution of huge amounts of data to a vehicle. With an exclusive right for development and testing of the on-car antenna, Toyota lent the company research vehicles for test driving. The Mirai displayed at NAIAS represents the progress of these efforts.
