Cars too have a personality.
Cars too have a personality.

WASHINGTON: Aston Martin goes with James Bond. But ever wondered why? Well, the reason lies in traits, for a new study has claimed that cars too
have personality.

Researchers in the US have found that many people see human facial features in the front end of automobiles as well as ascribe various personality traits to vehicles -- a modern experience driven by prehistoric psyches.

"The study confirmed with some rigour what many people have already felt -- cars seem to have consistent personality traits associated with them, and that this is similar to the way people perceive facial expressions.

"The most unique aspect of the study was that we were able to quantitatively link the perception of cars to aspects of their physical structure in a way that allows to generate a car that would project, say, aggression, anger or masculinity or the opposite traits," lead researcher Dennis Slice said.
