Car manufacturers have integrated biometric sensors for increased safety

After Mercedes has done with its Attention Assist a kind of first step, now several car manufacturers are following suit and integrate several biometric sensors in their vehicles, the driver not only keep an eye on, but almost to monitor medically.
The theme is the integration of a whole host of sensors around the dashboard, the seat and steering wheel are fitted while monitoring all sorts of important functions of the body -. Including respiration, heart rate and temperature What was not in the vehicle itself is installed, can be a simple way on the smartphone via Bluetooth connect to the system, which will allow scientists to measure blood glucose levels.

While the background of efforts for each manufacturer is the same, you go in terms of implementation of different ways: Ferrari about wants to measure the brain waves of the driver with sensors in the headrest and it even go that far, the vehicle at high speeds off or slowing down, when the system detects stress. Ford wants less dramatic at least block incoming calls from the phone when the strap give the measured breathing and the heart rate monitor on the steering wheel to the occasion.

BMW seems to have devoted largely to health preloaded drivers and is working feverishly to tie already available, portable blood glucose meters on the smartphone to your own vehicle system and will even detect heart attacks to the vehicle in the appropriate case, to move to a halt.

While efforts are supported almost exclusively, the technique can also be less pleasing hint - specifically for the case that it is the intention of the driver superior. Imagine yourself one important person was admitted to hospital after an accident and the case is denied because you are upset. No thanks.
