As part of its new artificial intelligence research center near Tokyo, Honda Motor Co. is partnering with Japan’s SoftBank Corp. and its Cocoro subsidiary to further develop that company’s “emotion engine” technology, which the partners say allows machines to recognize and react to a driver’s emotions.
Potential automotive applications include using cameras, sensors, historical data and other inputs to help determine a driver’s feelings.
