With the Tokyo Auto Show nearly upon us, Honda has rolled out a few concept cars as well as the latest updates to its ASIMO robot. Honda’s newly-autonomous humanoid android can now tackle such tough tasks as kicking a ball, pouring a drink, speaking sign language and (toughest of all) listening to women.

How much does that future not suck?

I like that first car. But please don't make it hybrid.
A future where cars are fun? I'm glad to hear the optimism. I figured both the government and electronic nannies would only continue to get more intrusive and non-defeatable!
