This Honda concept car will have emotions of its own - The Washington Post

ELIZA, please take me to work

"The “emotion engine” technology comes out of a partnership that Honda and Japanese telecommunications firm SoftBank revealed this year. The two paired up to design AI technology that allows the car to have conversations with its driver and gauge his or her emotions, Honda said in a news release.

Honda expects the car will “grow up” with its driver and share in his or her experiences, prompting the driver to feel the car “has become a good partner and thus form a stronger emotional attachment toward it.” (That could complicate matters when it comes time to trade in, but no one ever said breakups are easy.)"
