New Mobility for the Roads

We know every automaker is trying to create autonomous technology of some form to be the first to bring this to the roads. The ideal situation is to have our vehicles drive themselves and take us as passengers wherever we need to go. If our cars are driving themselves and can monitor every aspect of the drive while being completely connected to a network that puts them in charge of our ability to get where we need to go, why would these vehicles need to have any form of aerodynamics. In the past this was important because it was us as humans that were doing the driving, but with fully autonomous vehicles that won’t be needed.

In fact, if we look a bit past just the driving of the vehicle to where we want to go and see the intelligence required to go where we need to, we’ll see that cars may benefit even more from using artificial intelligence in the future. AI is something we have shown in a negative light in some movies because we don’t want to see what could happen if machines were able to process thoughts and create emotions of their own, but that’s not exactly how AI works.

Honda is prepared to show us a new concept at the 2017 Consumer Electronics Show which will be a cooperative mobility ecosystem to help make sure we have the ride that’s right for the technology inside. This new car will be called the NeuV concept and it will forget all about aerodynamics. It’s a box on wheels that will be an automated EV commuter car that will give us a vehicle that uses AI that’s actually called an emotion engine. This makes it possible for us to interact with the car in a way that’s more connected than we’ve ever been able to do so.

The AI has been developed by cocoro SB Corp which is a company that has been working on a way for machines to be able to artificially generate their own emotions. Hopefully they haven’t put in an understanding of negative feelings into a vehicle, otherwise we might see the birth of cars with their own form of road rage. This would create utter chaos on the streets and make it nearly impossible for us to have any control over the vehicle, the idea behind adding AI to the new model is to help the car be connected with us during the drive.

If you want a closer look at what this new car will be and the systems inside, you will have to attend the CES in 2017 and enjoy the new NeuV Concept as Honda puts it on display for you to enjoy the demonstration in just a few short weeks. This car is expected to help make our lives better and offer the way for a more productive mobility experience when you drive the new car of the future. We will certainly keep an eye on this car and what it will be for the future of our driving enjoyment.
