Nissan's Furry, Robotic Iruyo Puppet Comforts Your Crying Baby While You Drive
About two years ago, I was in a car with my best friend and her toddler. She was driving, and I was sitting in the back next to her 10-month-old, who was tucked into his car seat. For a while, the ride was smooth--then the baby burst into tears. We tried every common trick to comfort him. I contorted my face into the silliest of poses, my friend burst into a catchy song, but our efforts were met with louder wails until finally--mercifully!--we pulled into my friend's driveway and she was able to scoop her son up in her arms.
