Smiling Car


GIZMAG -- People are the problem...

 

A smiling car does make sense, if you follow their explanation.

 

As for me, I would like my fridge to smile at me in the morning, when I walk into the kitchen. "Hello, Babak! Lovely to see you today. How are you?" And so on. Would have to be an intelligent fridge, preferably. Otherwise, it could become very trying, very quickly.

 

The next step would be for the fridge to have a chat with the toaster, and the toaster to make fun of the washing machine, and so on. Hopefully, any human input (and presence) will soon be totally, utterly redundant.

Around town, drivers and pedestrians communicate using body language and eye contact, something a self-driving car can’t do. To try and solve the problem, a Swedish company has developed a car capable of flashing a smile at pedestrians.
