Top 5 future electric cars at CES 2017 â Toyota Concept-i
Toyota created an intelligent car that gets to know the driver and its needs in order to anticipate them better in the future.
The car learns this way to work together with the driver as a team, and a powerful bond is created this way between the car and the driver, which relies on trust and loyalty.
Toyota calls this vision "Yui", which in Japanese means "Conclusion".
The car creates an interactive bond with the driver and the passengers of the vehicle and tries to anticipate their needs.
Yui works together with AI (artificial intelligence) in order to anticipate and execute the next action according to the driver's needs.
Concept-i follows Toyota's belief that vehicles should start not with technology, but with the experience of the people that use the vehicle.
To achieve this goal, Toyota built the vehicle from the inside out, and created a future car that is immersive, energetic and approachable from the driver's point of view.
Toyota says that with the help of AI, they will create a future car that is connected with the driver and represent not only a machine, but a pal of the driver.
The technology embedded in Toyota Concept-i allows all people to enjoy the ride with the car (not special abilities are required) and by using biometric sensors, which were inserted throughout the vehicle, Concept-i can detect what the driver feels.
If the driver is sad, the AI will analyze its level of emotion, will make a recommendation, and if necessary, will take over and will drive the vehicle safely to the destination decided by the driver.
Safety and protection of the driver and the passengers of the vehicle are the main benefits of the relationship created between the car and its driver.
The car can protect the driver better if it knows him better.
Yui uses light and sound which can be seen and heard in the lines that flow from the center of the dashboard throughout the vehicle to communicate critical information to the driver.
The interior of the vehicle is clean and uncluttered and the car features a single full-color wide-screen, which is 3-D.
The exterior of the vehicle shows the relationship between the car and the world around it, because the vehicle communicates with others on the road, while expresses motion and excitement.
