Back Seat Driver
iXs Research Corporation in Japan unveiled their robotic teddy bear that works as a gps navigation system but goes a step further by gesturing with its arm/legs along with voice instructions. It also functions as booze control refusing to let you drive if it "smells" how drunk you are. And if you're a crappy reckless driver, it'll yell, "watch out!"
OMG, what a backseat driver! I can't stand that, but it's not all annoyances. If you pet its head, you'll get information about nearby landmarks. Snap!
I don't know who iXs Research are but they've billed themselves as making "cool robots" right in their logo so they've gotta be legit! On another note, somebody needs to run that bear thru the wash because he's not looking very Downy fresh and what's up with that ridiculously huge bow?
