Toyota's LQ concept introduces you to an AI helpmate named Yui

Around the same time, Toyota said it would put an evolution of the Concept-i to work as an escort vehicle at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. The new LQ concept is that evolution, coming to the Tokyo Motor Show later this month. The Concept-i housed an AI assistant called Yui, the software enlivened with Disney's 12 Principles of Animation that code behaviors to make fabricated things seem real. Toyota's assertion when debuting the Concept-i was, "We don't want to make a cold, technical, dry, soulless machine." The LQ expands the methods of interaction between Yui and occupants, the aim being to personalize the driving experience and "build an emotional bond between car and driver," the development philosophy being, "Learn, Grow, Love."
