Affective Intelligent Driving Agent (AIDA)

Driving alone and need a companion? Well thanks to Artificial Intelligence and MIT researchers, you can buy one and put it on your car's dashboard. This is not just any bouncy head decoration, its a high tech robot that can learn and interact. Its a personal assistant that will first learn and observe the driver's personality and his destinations. Next it offers suggestions accordingly. AIDA can observe driver's mood from his/her facial expressions and interact in a very social and informative manner. Smiling or blinking eyes are a couple of examples. 

The system builds its own understanding of the city, integrating real-time event data regarding the environmental conditions, along with commercial activity, different tourist attractions, and uptown areas. AIDA can also  give its own suggestions about driving skills and help to get more efficient drive. It makes the drive safer by preventing the driver from dizziness.
