Seats that Track your Heart Rate

Featured Topics

We recently took a tour of Ford's R&D facilities, and the Blue Oval is pulling all of its weight behind making their cars some of the smartest you'll find on the road.

Just to start, you can stick capacitive sensors on the seat and your car could keep an eye on your heart rate as you drive; that could be for general health tracking or sending details to an ambulance if you’re in an accident (or even warning other drivers if you have a heart attack).

I hate new car smell.... its toxic.
And yet, you can buy a spray for that odor to bring it back for a bit...
