The car, called Concept-i, made its debut at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas and it comes with a little AI robot-like companion named "Yui." Yui (pronounced you-EE) greets the driver, showing up as a circle of light about the size of a ping pong ball when they open the door. Then, Yui shows up on the dashboard. Yui keep tabs on the driver.
