Toyota is working to their cars more like people in the future, with the help of artificial intelligence.
The auto maker on Monday showed off its Concept-i lineup of vehicles, which feature AI technology that “learns from and aims to grow with the driver,” Toyota wrote in a news release.
The Concept-i lineup consists of three vehicles: the flagship four-wheel model first unveiled at CES in January; a smaller two-person model called Concept-i Ride designed with wheelchair users in mind that features gull-wing doors and a joystick instead of the steering wheel, accelerator, and brake pedals; and a three-wheeled “walking area mobility vehicle” called Concept-i Walk designed to be used in pedestrian zones. All three feature AI that can recognize your emotions and learn your preferences.
Toyota plans to start road testing vehicles equipped with some of these AI features in Japan by “around 2020.”
