Olli - Local Motors' First Self-Driving Vehicle (Video)

That Can Be Printed In A Day.
The IBM IT group and the US manufacturer of 3D printed car, Local Motors, has created Olli, a 3D printed electric minibus with the assistance of the supercomputer named Watson. This minivan of the future is a real technological feat!
Capable of carrying twelve people, Olli is an adorable minibus printed in 3D. It has an intelligence provided by IBM, Watson platform, which allows it to be autonomous. IBM and Watson are not directly associated with driving the vehicle, but have developed software that allows users to communicate with the vehicle. Autonomous driving capabilities are essentially based on thirty sensors that connect to computer servers.

Regarding Watson, intelligent supercomputer, gives the conversational skills to Olli, which can then chat with his passengers during the journey to receive their stop requests. 

Indeed Olli is programmed to interact with passengers and include such phrases as ” Olli, can you take me downtown?” Or “Are we there yet?”. In the future, Olli could be booked with the help of a mobile application, in the same way as we hire a car with driver.
