Car manufacturers are developing so-called "AI friends" or "pals."
These "pals" are artificially programmed buddies that will become your "best friend for life" whenever you step into your vehicle. Car manufacturers are trying to create the best "pal" they can offer.
With the concept of AI, cars will be able to learn things like routes, schedules, and your favorite places to hang-out. But these pals might also be able to identify how a person feels. For example, if the owner is feeling down, the AI pal might be able to cheer him up by playing a lively song. Or if the person is hungry, the car would know which place he might want to go to grab a snack.
Making computers respond with emotions is a futuristic concept that could become a breakthrough in machine learning. Enabling artificial intelligence create a bond with humans through a series of chats and requests could open up new areas in the field.
Admittedly, humans do not feel comfortable when dealing with a computer program. Still, car manufacturers are positive that they can develop a likable AI buddy.
Several car manufacturers have announced their plans to install AI systems like Alexa and Cortana in their new line of vehicles. In the long run, these platforms might be able to deliver a similar experience to having a digital best friend.
