Toyota Concept-i - AI vehicle that learns about its driver

This looks like something from Tron. I think we've see "AI" appended to everything this week, from toothbrushes to healthy eating apps.

The thing is that, Tesla compared to most of car manufacturers doesn't make concept cars. They are producing real car, affordable in large production, and smashing the car industry. I'm pretty sure that you will never drive a car such as the Toyota Concept-I. Because those car are not created with the will of being delivered some day. May be an element will remain and being integrate to a real car? But if the car industry were acting like Tesla does, we would have many more breakthroughs - along with interesting failures!

Checklist for all new cars: 1. Unnaturally lit cockpit. ✅ 2. Scale like exterior that suggests the car was born from nature. ✅ 3. Wrapping front and tail lights. ✅ 4. Doors that open in very odd, inconvenient directions. ✅ 5. Freaky looking steering wheel. ✅ 6. Video with a ridiculous amount of After Effects to convey how really real the car is. ✅

Looks cool but we all know these design concept never ever make it to the roads. It's all for show and marketing.

Toyota has watched one too many sci-fi movies.

Toyota: "We are dreaming about the future and it looks beautiful." Tesla: "The future is now and you are right Toyota, it's going great! Btw, how much did that YouTube video and landing page cost you all? It looks gorgeous!"

Can't wait to drive one.

Meh, it's a concept.. they can make it look however they want, with whatever non-functioning/not practical technology they want. It's interesting, but not super relevant. When/if any of that gets near a production car, will be much more interesting.

IMHO Toyota (and others) need to stop using the bright white interior design for futuristic models. Makes it look like a car for robots.

I'm biased on this, however I'd really love to see an automotive company create a concept car that was rapidly validated with customers, focusing on real problems.
