Another value that Honda is striving to offer with its SDVs is the creation of an attractive “space” for people’s mobility. In addition to minimizing various stresses related to the use of a car, such as driving and getting in and out of the vehicle, Honda SDVs will offer new value that maximizes the fun of using a car. To this end, Honda will further advance existing connected vehicle technologies and incorporate multimodal generation AI to utilize a variety of data obtained from cameras and other sensors inside and outside the vehicle to offer in-vehicle experiences that reflect the emotions and intentions of the occupants. Honda SDVs will proactively make suggestions that they deem most appropriate at the time. For example, when the user is taking a long drive with their pet, the vehicle will find pet-friendly cafes and restaurants and suggest the users to take a break; when the vehicle detects a crying child in the cabin, it will suggest to play music that would be fun for children; and the vehicle will suggest switching to a mode that prioritizes riding comfort in coordination with the integrated dynamics control technology.

The greatest features of the value of a Honda SDV as a “space” for people’s mobility is the fact that the more the user drives it, the more the vehicle advances to achieve the “ultra-personal optimization.” The AI accumulates a history of what the occupants have selected in various situations and, just like a smartphone’s predictive texting feature, the vehicle will make predictive suggestions. The more history the Honda SDV accumulates, in other words, the more the customer uses their vehicle, the better suggestions the vehicle will offer tailored to the preferences of the user. Honda SDVs will eventually grow to be a “partner” that understands the user the most and supports comfortable and convenient daily use of the vehicle.

What a nightmare this will be!

And, as the presenter said, it won't be just Honda. They will all jump on the bandwagon.

Never going to happen here.

2. Road Rage

Okay, then what happens when someone has an attack of road rage because they got cut off? Is AI gonna go all "Christine" on the other driver?
