Toyota unveils its AI-powered autonomous car of the future
The Toyota Concept-i unveiled at CES 2017 envisions what a car might be like in the year 2030. Ian Cartabiano, head of Toyota’s CALTY advanced design studio in southern California says, “The challenging aspect of it was, how do we make this futuristic car convey something that’s still fun to drive, but also have a new way to interact between driver and car, and basically, reignite a love for cars.” The Concept-i is one answer to that question. It is “a proposal for the future that incorporates technology with a soul. We don’t want to make a cold, technical, dry, soulless machine,” he says.
Built into the Concept-i is an artificial intelligence interface known as Yui. Its mission is to get to know the driver’s emotions and preferences and react accordingly. It is the contextual equivalent of the neural learning network built into the Nvidia “supercomputer in a box” that is part of Tesla’s Hardware 2 package.
When a driver first sits down in the Concept-i, Yui appears as a pulsating circle rising from the center of the dashboard to meet his or her hand. A handshake between the driver and the circle activates the car. Yui then zips around the interior, appearing in first one subtle display screen then another. “In order for Yui to communicate with you or other passengers in the car, or to the outside, we needed it to move around the cabin, and needed it to go outside the cabin,” Cartabiano says.
Yui can move to message boards integrated into the car’s exterior to communicate with other drivers and pedestrians. “Watch out!” it might say on the right front fender if a pedestrian is about to step off a curb. “Turning Left” could be displayed at the left front corner to warn other drivers of an impending turn.
