The emotions are not always subject to reason, but they are always subject to action proved by Nissan Motor and Nippon Design Center(NDC) who have innovated the smiling vehicle that evinces human emotions. Smiling vehicle is composed of polyurethane elastomer fiber and ROICA known as Asahi Kasei Fiber. this enables the vehicle to demonstrate facial expression.

It has lots of applications, including outerwear, innerwear, and sportswear, as well as car seats, shoes, and medical supporters and taping. The expressions produced with this fiber are created by Animatronics, a technology widely used in film. It includes details such as eyebrow and cheek movements, which are vital for creating human-like facial expressions. Sounding a horn has negatives connotations, but if cars could smile a new method of communication while driving could evolve. This work considers the car as an extension of the driver’s character, and suggests that it might give rise to emotional exchanges.



The so-called Smiling Vehicle has the ability to deform by up to 900%”, and then combined with animatronics to display human emotions.
