Toyota Reveals New Pod Concept Car With Exceptional Toyota Parts
by: Jenny Mc Lane, Tue Dec 6th
/p> Toyota has already unveiled a prototype of its Pod concept car,which has headlights that fade from bright to dull and changecolor to indicate happy, sad or angry moods, depending on howthe driver inside is feeling. In a joint effort with StanfordUniversity in the U.S and an Edinburgh based company AffectiveMedia, carmaker giant Toyota has made another leap into making acar that can read one's feelings. Research showed that a driver's emotional state affected howwell they drove: If they were happy, they drove well and if theywere sad, they tended to drive worse. "This is the nextgeneration of car, which can detect what mood you are in," saidAffective Media CEO, Christian Jones. Identifying what mood thedriver was in by detecting the emotion in their voice was takingthings a step further, Jones said. "It's not as sci-fi as itsounds. We already use our voices for different functions insidethe car. It's about giving appropriate information at the righttime." The in-car voice would talk to you in an attempt toimprove the state of your mood. The technology would not act asa counselor to solve complex issues, but it would be more like a"best friend" who could cheer you up at the end of a long day,"added Jones. The technology can let drivers to communicate with each other,in an effort to prevent road rage. The absence of communicationbetween drivers on the road often led to road rage. An alarm istriggered off to rouse the driver whenever it detects the driveris drowsy, quiet and with flat speech Jones believed that "Itwould give certain information that would help. If they were ina hurry, the car would work out the safer, faster route insteadof, perhaps, a scenic route,"
Affective Media develops emotion recognition technology, whichcan be applied to a number of different situations, not only forcars, but also for call centers, the computer gaming industryand mobile phones.

620 HP Hennessey Challenger Hits the Streets with Eleven Second Quarter Mile Force
Hennessey Performance Engineering (HPE) is well known for its ability to take fast Mopars--such as the Dodge Viper--and make them go faster. The all-new Challenger SRT8 has just hit the streets with its 6.1L Hemi V-8 and in traditional fashion HPE already has performance upgrade packages available. Despite packing 425 hp, HPE knew that many Dodge Challenger SRT8 buyers would want improved power and performance to make their new hot rods even hotter. Now Challenger owners can have Viper and ZR1-like power in the form of 620 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque. (PRWEB Aug 28, 2008)
