LAS VEGAS. (Jan. 5, 2017) - Honda unveiled its Cooperative Mobility Ecosystem concept today at CES 2017 in Las Vegas, connecting the power of artificial intelligence, robotics and big data to transform the mobility experience of the future and improve customers' quality of life. Featuring a number of prototype and concept technology demonstrations at CES, the Honda concept envisions a future where vehicles will communicate with each other and infrastructure to mitigate traffic congestion and eliminate traffic fatalities, while increasing the productivity of road users and delivering new types of in-vehicle entertainment experiences. Vehicles will create new value by autonomously providing services when not in use by their owners.

Honda also announced collaborations with Visa, DreamWorks Animation and innovative start-ups through the Honda Developer Studio and Honda Xcelerator open innovation programs based out of Honda Silicon Valley Lab. Further, as part of its effort to accelerate open innovation, Honda has established a new URL for areas including AI, Big Data and Robotics.

Supporting its Cooperative Mobility Ecosystem theme, Honda introduced the Honda NeuV, an electric automated mini-vehicle concept equipped with an artificial intelligence (AI) 'emotion engine' and automated personal assistant, creating new possibilities for human interaction and new value for customers.

The global mobility company also introduced the Honda Moto Riding Assist, a concept motorcycle that applies Honda's robotics technology to maintain balance. Visitors to Honda's exhibit (LVCC, North Hall - 7312) also can experience firsthand Honda robotics technology by 'test-driving' the UNI-CUB, the company's self-balancing personal mobility device.

'Since our founding, Honda has focused on creating technologies that help people,' said Yoshiyuki Matsumoto, President & CEO of Honda R&D Co., Ltd. 'Our goal is to showcase a future technology path that results in a redefined mobility experience.'
