Honda's NeuV is a mini electric concept car with emotional intelligence

Honda is another carmaker focused on supplementing the driving experience with an emotional, AI-based component. The NeuV, Honda's latest concept which it unveiled at CES on Thursday, is a city-friendly lightweight electric car that has Honda's Automated Network Assistant (HANA), built with SoftBank, on board to help personalize the driving experience. Through HANA, the car becomes aware of a driver's emotions and moods, and can support driving choices as well as suggest media do other infotainment options. NeuV has other tricks up its sleeve, too. The all-electric vehicle is designed to answer the issue of idle vehicles, which is most cars most of the time, according to recent studies, that show up to 96 percent idea rates for vehicles where they're just sitting in driveways or otherwise parked.
