Internet, say hello to the Honda Neuv. No, really, do: at its heart is Hana", the nattily named AI that sets it apart from being another Smart-like city car concept. She"ll definitely say hello back.It"s been revealed at the CES show in Las Vegas, where AI" has very much been a buzzword of the show. Now that car manufacturers have established they"re taken us down a self-driven path, they"re finding ways to soothe us as we sit there being transported around.So Hana, represented by a small, emoji-like face on the wide dashboard screen, pays attention to your likes and dislikes. She will remember which coffee shops you like to stop by, and when the heart-rate monitor in the seat recognises you"re a wee bit stressed or your angst-ridden face is picked up by the facial recognition, she"ll suggest you pay a visit, even ordering your favourite drink on the way.She will also mollycoddle novice drivers. When they decide to go for a lightly ill-advised drive on a twisting, challenging bit of road, Hana once her pleas they take the easy route have been ignored will dip the car"s power, putting the car"s dynamics into easy" mode like it"s a computer game.The Neuv (pronounced New V") will even work for you. Another trend from CES, one linked to full, level four" autonomous cars, is that while they"re parked up outside your home or office, they can nip off and act as a ride-sharing device, driving people around and earning you money. If they"re electric, they can sell back their power to the grid at peak time, and charge themselves to replenish it at off peak time, again making you money.
