Nissan Motor has teamed up with the Hara Design Institute Nippon Design Center to design a Smiling Vehicle. It makes use of ROICA, a polyurethane elastomer fiber to give the car a soft skin which enables it to show facial expressions. The fiber can stretch by 500% to 900% and shows outstanding recovery from stretching. The expressions produced with this fiber are created by animatronics, a technology widely used in film. If cars could smile a new method of communication could evolve. This feature considers the car as an extension of the driver’s personality. If the driver can keep his cool even under stressful driving conditions, why shouldn’t his car be able to portray his state of mind?
