Pivo2 robot sidekick in car

Nissan must have taken a leaf out of Star Wars with the Pivo2 concept car that comes with a dashboard-based robot, or should I abbreviate it to just “dashbot”? This cute little robot is there for a very good reason – lightening up the mood of those in the car, ensuring that the driver is happy all the time. Known as Pivo-kun, this dashbot was developed as research has shown that happy drivers have drastically lower accident rates compared to depressed ones. Hopefully the Pivo-kun’s repertoire of jokes won’t run dry anytime soon and can be updated.
