Men who love their cars often describe their rides in feminine terms, and perhaps advancements made by Nicholas Pennycooke of the MIT Media Lab could very well usher in a new age of loving one's vehicle in more ways than one. Nicholas claims that more emotional vehicles will be able to be more user friendly, as it can communicate its intent to humans around it. For example, if the world has advanced to such a stage where driverless cars are the norm, it might be programmed to never hit someone else on the road, but how would you know that the car has “seen” you in advance.
Ubergizmo, Car expresses itself, will future vehicles go all emo on us?
