Bearing Up Remarkably Well

Talking Up An Unusual Achievement

Japanese scientists have developed a robotic talking teddy bear - placed on the car dashboard - to help drivers find their way through traffic. The bear has a moving neck and arms so it can also point confused drivers in the right direction. It has even been programmed to say "You haven't been drinking, have you?" if it detects alcohol on a driver's breath.
