Japan’s Nissan Motor Co. on Friday unveiled a new version of its egg-shaped Pivo concept car that can drive sideways and has a small robot to assist with navigation or calm down angry drivers.

A round-eyed robot head sitting on the dashboard has cameras that can tell when a driver is getting sleepy. It can also nod or shake its head, helping to improve the mood of irate or glum drivers.
