According to Gill Pratt, head, Toyota Research institute, this vision involved two things: making the car safe, and changing the way people interact with their vehicle.“It has the potential to become more than a helpful friend,” Pratt said.The basis of how Concept-i interacts with its human occupants is a system Toyota calls Yui.
