The last thing [self-driving] automakers want is for bored drivers to default to their current time killer: their phone. The problem for the companies is that if you get your entertainment from the computer in your pocket, it really doesn’t matter which car you own. They’re all going to get you to your destination without your input. So they’ve concocted a novel idea: the AI friend.
Along with the deep learning that’s keeping cars from shooting off the road and into ditches, automakers are also building you a friend that knows about your wants and needs. Plus, in addition to knowing your schedule and where you like to eat, these robots will know all about your feels. Both Toyota and Honda talked about their in-car AI systems detecting a driver’s emotions and reacting either with music or restaurant recommendations.
