It's a sign of the times that automotive companies are releasing major new concept cars at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), and in years to come, as robotics and artificial intelligence converge with the automobile, Las Vegas in the New Year may become the premier such showcase of intelligent vehicles in the world. Honda's NeuV concept vehicle will be appearing at the show and is being promoted as "harnessing the power of artificial intelligence, robotics, and big data to transform the mobility experience."

CES 2017 will also see the unveiling of a concept motorcycle that will apparently feature in the keynote address of Honda President & CEO Yoshiyuki Matsumoto. At this stage, all we know is that Matsumoto will "unveil a concept motorcycle demonstrating an application of the company's robotics technology."

Honda's newly announced "Cooperative Mobility Ecosystem" will be shown for the first time at CES 2017, with Honda promising to announce collaboration with global brands and startups.

    Do people want a vehicle with personality? I personally find the prospect of a car with an "'emotion engine' that creates new possibilities for human interaction" on the horrifying side.

    Remember the doors in HHGTTG? We really don't want that.
