An artificial passenger (AP) designed to make long solo journeys safer and more bearable has been developed by IBM. The software chats to you, chooses your music, tells you jokes - and sounds alarms when you foul up.
The AP is not an inflatable automaton that sits in the passenger seat. It's an intelligent presence packed into the dashboard electronics. The heart of the system is a conversation planner that holds a profile of you, including details of your interests and profession. When activated, the AP uses the profile to cook up provocative questions such as, "Who was the first person you dated?" via a speech generator and the in-car speakers.
