Car Seat Senses Your Road Rage, Offers a Massage

Automotive manufacturer Faurecia created a smart car seat that can tell when you're being driven to the brink, and it responds with fresh air and a massage. The Active Wellness seat contains sensors that detect the driver's heartbeat and breathing patterns. A smart biometric sensing system crunches the numbers to figure out how the driver is feeling. "[The seat] allows us to understand something about your heart rate, your respiration rate, and then analyze that to really understand your stress level," Faurecia advanced innovation manager Matthew Benson told CBS Los Angeles. When the seat senses that the driver is stressed out, it automatically responds with a specific massage pattern designed to calm the person down.
