Pivo 2: Nissan puts robot in concept car to keep you happy

Pivo 2, a concept car from Nissan, looks like the Wii of cars. Its cabin can turn sideways, parking is a breeze and it aims to keep you, the driver, happy! Pivo 2 features a robot that can help you find directions, talk to you and the passengers. In addition, Pivo 2 robot can recognize signs of stress and irritation on your face and try to establish an 'intimate relationship' by communicating with you.

So are you ready to hear 'calm down' from your car's robot? Or will you thrash the damn robot for messing with you at the wrong time?



Being a concept car, according to Nissan, you can expect Pivo 2 to be on street by 2015.
