Ready, teddy, go left at the junction
If you find sat nav useful, but just not cuddly enough, you'll be pleased to learn of the work of iXs Research Corporation.
We were, as it combines two of our favourite subjects - sat nav and robots.
iXs has created a talking teddy bear to help drivers navigate. It will tell you which road to take, use its little furry arms to point the way, and when you rub its little head, it will offer information about the area you're in.
And if having a soft toy telling you that you've gone the wrong way in Japanese isn't irritating enough, it's also programmed to nag you if you're driving badly. Let's hope they make them strong.
