Wow. That video was unexpectedly emotional. Thanks for the link!

On a side-note, it would be interesting if Yamaha partnered up with the Honda team that made ASIMO to create an advanced next generation humanoid android capable of various automotive feats in addition to the multitude of real world skills it has already.

I'm familiar with ASIMO (amazing what they can do) but these days cars can drive themselves without a single entity behind the wheel. In fact, it makes me wonder if there will one day by a class of race bikes or cars that are autonomous, and if they are, I'm sure they will not have a seat, or handle bars, or look as close to the shape they need to be currently to compensate for a driver/rider.
