HELLO. MY NAME IS PIVO-2. NICE TO MEET YOU.
 

YouTube Video

This concept car is cool in theory, but being a man who has a manly image to uphold, I'd probably rather have a car that talks like Master Chief so that my friends don't think I'm a giant homo. Master Chief would say things like "Drive Faster" or "Stop being a pansy and cheer up" and "We need to kill these English-speaking aliens, now!"

Either way, interesting technology heading our way soon enough.

Is this video available in English?

This car pretty much blows. See, this is why I am not exactly looking forward to the future. The world will be crowded with this kind of shit. It won't be possible anymore to just buy an ordinary car, because the salesman will be like "??? why wouldn't you want to buy this super awesome PIVO-2 vehicle"; all cars will suck pretty hard like this one.

Hipsters will take over this planet.

The Result:

The left one is cheaper
Uhh okay.

Don't worry, even if in 20 years all foreign models are like this, we can still count on American car makers to be stuck 40 years in the past.

What a grim future :(

Imagine the effect a talking dashboard will have on schizophrenics.

The robot friend apparently analyzes your face to detect your happiness... I wonder what happens when you wear a ski mask?

"Like aaaaaa, mobile phone! When we look at this for the first time, it was big thing! Heavy thing! Very expensive!"

So wait, this is the future of the Pivo-2? =o

"Do you like my hat?!"

Master Chief would announce that you were a gaming homo. Forget that, I'd want a car that had the voice recording of a guy on PCP.

Everything would be "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH! FUCK! AAAAAHHHHHH!"

This car looks fucking gay. Seriously. How are you gonna pick up honeys in the PIVO-2?

"Hey baby look at my PIVO!"
"Get to steppin' nigga! That shit looks like an anal bead. :mad:"

I'd want the Pivo 2... without the car. The little robot guy is adorable!!! It'd give me all the more reason not have any real friends... I'd talk with him alllllll the time! :D

Dude, it's got that i-look. You'd be swimmin in coffee shop pussy.

I would smash that goddamned robot in a matter of minutes, I swear. The polite demeanor has NO PLACE in my vehicle. Unless it cures the stupidity of others driving around me and the risk of getting side-swiped by douchebags who DON'T LOOK when changing lanes, I want nothing to do with it.

"Why are you angry? Please calm down!"
"GO FUCK YOURSELF YOU PIECE OF SHIT *SMASH*"

This will likely cause an accident for me! Hazardous robot!

I kind of like the "you don't ever need to parallel park again" rotating wheels, though. I could actually USE that.

You could get a Lexus if you really wanted that feature as they've had it in cars since last year.

That was my actual frist though when I actually seen this topic. Unfortunately I can't watch the video due to the work computers at my environmental office blocking pretty much everything.

So I thank Gamingforce for putting org at the end of their website, because of that I can still go to their website.

More than anything else, I wouldn't be surprised if this polite talking robot would increase the amount of road rage on today's roads. Nobody wants to be in a car on a bad day with a robot talking polite to you. That'll just boil your blood to the extreme breaking point.

I can see this robot being a good excuse for accident. "It wasn't my fault I had the accident, the robot made me do it because it distracted me."

I like how Talking Guy's explanation of the little head on the dash is that it will create an "intimate connection" between the driver and her car. Since when do we need our technology to have faces in order to develop erotic feelings for it? I know plenty of people who would have sex with their cars already.

It's better that I know how to do it - and use it. It's like relying on a calcyulator to do all your math for you.

But at the same time, it'd be a nice feature.

I think some other line does the same thing - sensory parallel parking. Not just Lexus. No? (I would never buy a Lexus. Do I look like a yuppie to you? ^_^)
