A new Toyota that can feel is here. Reports the New York Times:
Four inventors working for Toyota in Japan have won a patent for a car that they say can help drivers communicate better by glaring angrily at another car cutting through traffic as well as appear to cry, laugh, wink, or just look around.
The Patent application describes:
… a car with an antenna that wags, an adjustable body height, headlights that vary in intensity, and hood slits and ornamentation designed to look like eyebrows, eyelids and tears, all of which could glow with colored lights to create moods and physical features.
I wonder, if like the Lovebug (herbie the volkswagen) if the Toyota gets depressed it will get drunk on gasoline and try to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff?
