Did your car just wink at me?

Picture someone you know, it could be you, driving down the road in your emotion-car and you see a little cutie in the lane next to you. How do you display your attraction short of removing clothing and pressing your privates in the window? Well...how about having your car WINK at them!! Pretty clever isn't it...or possibly a 14 car-pile up inducing mechanism.

Four Toyota employees from Japan have taken out a patent (on their own) on an emotive car...which is starting to sound a lot like Herbie the Love Bug. The car uses its headlights as eyes, lights above the headlights that act like eyebrows, and even the antenna can wag, be limp, or become erect. Wait, did I just read that the antenna can become...yes - yes you did!

The inventors feel like as more people spend time in their car, interaction between drivers via their cars would make driving more entertaining and organic. If humans use machines as interaction...that's MORE organic? Sure, I can see how walking really starts to fall behind when you have a car that can tell everyone else how pissed you are.
