Honda to reveal the NeuV, an EV with an 'emotion engine'
Honda is set to unveil its latest concept electric car, the NeuV, which is says has artificial intelligence technologies which allows the car to "generate its own emotions". The self-driving prototype is aimed at commuters and is set to be on display at the Consumer Electronics Show on 5 January.

Honda has teased the first image of what looks to be an ambitious new concept car — an experimental vehicle dubbed the NeuV. The automaker will be showcasing the car at CES on January 5th and says it will be automated, electric, designed for commuters, and will come equipped with artificial intelligence in the form of something called an “emotion engine.”

Details are vague on what this all means, but Honda describes the emotion engine as a set of technologies that will “enable machines to artificially generate their own emotions.” Will that mean some sort of in-car assistant that’s cheery or grouchy depending on how much fuel there is in the tank? Or perhaps some sort of animated dashboard that gives you the stink eye when you cut someone off in traffic?
