Toyota’s competitor Honda is also working on their AI assistant vehicles. The timeline projection of the Yui project while be in the testing stage of the engineering process in the year 2020. In autonomous driver mode the seats are capable of reclining and massage your back, in order to calm your breathing and make you relax. This technology was revealed in the Consumer Electronics show hosted in Las Vegas last January.
