Actually, they’re going to read emotions according to What Car?, a UK automotive magazine. Throughout the last decade, Toyota has been in development of a mood sensing technology. The goal is to create a fleet of cars that know when you’re angry or sad, since those moods tend to increase the likelihood of an accident. To some, this may sound like science fiction or the plot of Knight Rider, but it’s not. Market analysts predict we may see the technology on the Gresham Toyota lot in as little as six years.

Mood sensing is much more complicated than a ring that changes color. It requires a complicated network of cameras and motion sensors. Today’s Toyota technology can analyze 238 facial points to determine if someone is happy, sad, angry, or neutral. Studies show that sad and angry drivers pay less attention to road hazards and traffic conditions, and they’re less responsive to brake or swerve. To keep yourself and others safe, your Toyota could intervene and brake or steer to avoid a collision.

Toyota hopes this technology will make roads safer in the future, but the advancements could have more practical purposes too. Screens would dim when the car knew you weren’t looking at them, and mirrors would automatically adjust based on your height. While these developments exceed current capabilities, Toyota has always remained at the forefront of new technology. If future Toyota vehicles can sense your mood, they won’t just improve your driving experience: they’ll keep you and others safe.

In 1997, the Prius emerged in Japan as the world’s first mass-produced hybrid vehicle. Not many years later, it entered the American markets and immediately became a staple of the road. Toyota has since remained a leader in fuel efficiency. Developing hybrid versions of many popular models and a plug-in Prius,  Toyota engineers have always been at the forefront of technology—and they show no signs of stopping. Toyota partnered with BMW last December to use fuel-savvy diesel engines in Europe, and now they’ve revealed another phase of that partnership: lithium-ion battery research.

Lithium-ion batteries are the core of electric engines. They increase the fuel efficiency of hybrids and allow some vehicles to operate without an ounce of gas. Electric engines have made huge strides since 1997, and now Toyota wants to push the limits even further. By collaborating with BMW, the size of their think tank and scientific force has doubled. Because the initiative has only been announced, no details have surfaced. Whatever Toyota and BMW are planning, it is likely to be a technological leap in fuel efficiency for hybrid and all-electric vehicles.

This isn’t the first electric-research collaboration Toyota has made, and it probably won’t be the last. In 2011 the company used research from Tesla to build an all-electric RAV4. The results of the BMW battery-research may be equally as momentous. At any rate, it’s a demonstration of Toyota’s continued commitment to fuel efficiency. As gas prices and environmental concerns continue to dominate public conversation, that’s a commitment any car buyer can appreciate!
