Sensitive vehicles to help drivers
The Pod concept car has headlights that fade from bright to dull and change color to indicate happy, sad or angry moods, depending on the driver's mood.
Affective Media CEO, Christian Jones, says the car would be able to detect, for example, if the driver is stressed about running late and tell them the best possible route.
"It would give certain information that would help. If they were in a hurry, the car would work out the safer, faster route instead of, perhaps, a scenic route," he explained. "The in-car voice would talk to you in an attempt to improve the state of your mood." Other mood improvers could include playing soothing music.
It would also be able to detect whether the driver was drowsy by identifying signs such as quiet, flat speech, and could then trigger an alarm to rouse the driver. (Via we-make-money-not-art)
