I have to babysit my sister when my mum is away for work. But I feel tired at times especially when she is too naughty or cries too much. One day, I was watching the news on TV and I found that it's so normal in Thai society that most parents are mostly out of home for work and have very little time to look after their children. So, my idea is to create a car that can babysit many children at the same time. This car is able to bath the babies, play music and lullaby, put babies to bed and even feed all kind of food to babies. It is equipped with many dolls and toys with the ability to talk to babies like human parents do. This car will help solve many parents with no time to take care of their children.

President,
Toyota Motor Corporation
Thank you for those who participated in the “2012 Toyota Dream Car Art Contest”. We have received over 620,000 artworks from more than 70 countries/regions this year. Considering we started in 2004 with 2000 artworks from 14 countries, now we are able to see 300 times more number of dreams! All these dream cars make me feel that I really want to own and drive them. It was really difficult for the juries to select Gold, Silver, Bronze, Best Finalist and Finalist awards. This year, there were a lot of dream cars which were themed around helping people during natural disasters. What we felt was, after catastrophes around the world these days, children are learning so many important things such as to help each other, to never give up and to catch their dreams. We are also impressed by the fact that each of 620,000 artworks has its own charms and maybe even more dreams were expressed in different ways. Each of the artworks helps us to create ever better cars. We would appreciate your continued support and participation from all around the world for this contest.
