Toyota's new Concept-i UX car

Toyota's new Concept-i UX car integrates everything from artificial intelligence to haptic feedback to create a new kind of relationship with the driver. This will be a car that not only protects you, but knows your needs and, perhaps, even your emotions. Not only does the interior look like a cross between a race car and something out of Star Trek, but it's got a built-in personal digital assistant called Yui that lives in the 3D dashboard and can greet you with a cheerful "Hello" or communicate with the driver through light, sound and haptic touch.

Corning Gorilla Glass for Automotive

Go ahead, throw a rock at your windshield because it might survive — if that windshield is made with Gorilla Glass for Automotive. The special glass is related to the material used in smartphones, but with added ingredients to protect it against the extreme cold, heat and sun exposure experienced by most cars. And because the glass is thinner and lighter than a standard car windshield, cars that use Gorilla Glass could be more energy efficient.
