No motor show is complete without the cool concept cars. The upcoming 45th Tokyo Motor is no exception. And yes, this year’s show promises its fair share of concepts. Toyota Motor Corporation will even have three of them, it says.
The Concept-i Series is the Japanese carmaker’s take on future mobility, done in three types of vehicles for various needs and people. Centered around the theme Let’s Move the World from Here. Beyond the Motor, the Toyota Concept-i Series aims to once again make the car a beloved part of society. Moreover, it hopes to give drivers and other users safety and peace of mind while at the same time, giving them new fun experiences behind the wheel.
To achieve these goals, Toyota will utilize what it says is the most advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) Agent around. This system studies the driver’s emotions, feelings, and other vital data. This will then allow it to learn and provide appropriate driving action to ensure a safe and enjoyable journey.
The safety or protect aspect helps keep drivers out of harm’s way, especially when they aren’t exactly fit to get behind the tiller. Say you’re having a stressful day and are in a bit of a rage. The system will take over and assist you, thus helping to ensure that you don’t take it out on other road users.
When it comes to fun on the road (inspire), the AI Agent can engage in free-wheeling conversation based on your mood, the latest news on the web, and even your social media feeds. A bit creepy, yet the idea is to try and help you let out whatever’s bottled up inside. This helps eliminate stress and even mental problems. Moreover, it can stimulate the five senses when it detects dipping alertness levels. And it can even suggest the best driving routes for a fun time at the wheel.
