# But could they drive the robo car?


-- A new vehicle called "the pod" developed by Japan's Toyota Motor Corp and electronics giant Sony Corp will smile frown and cry not to mention take your pulse and measure your sweat. The car is seen in an undated handout photo. It has been designed to show emotion and learn from driver experience and will be on display for the first time at the Tokyo Motor Show that begins next week.

There are never any Metros left when I get to the train station. Bastards.

# Yes but to what extent
Does it just decide that you are sweaty. Or does it try to measure exactly how much sweat there, that would need some kind of special sweat absorbing suit that you wore, to be sure of getting all your sweat, sort of Dune stylee. In which case it could probably turn it back into tea with a well placed tea bag unit. That could be handy.

# sweat-tea.
sweaT.. UM. There's a brand in there somewhere, and i think I like it.
Wouldn't like to drink it, but hell, it's only for the Japanese.
