Images: The 21st-century taxicab

Bye-bye, Crown Victoria. Hello...? That's the question posed by a project called "Designing the Taxi," which seeks a 21st-century overhaul of New York's taxicabs. The nonprofit group Design Trust for Public Space asked the taxi industry, taxi regulators and design shops to rethink the iconic vehicles from the passenger's perspective, and proposals have been on display at Parsons School of Design, in an exhibit that ends Sunday.
