In a recent groundbreaking invention, scientists recently created a car that is able to detect human emotions, in order to make driving safer.
The car comes fully equipped with biometric sensors that signal the vehicle to understand when the driver is feeling stressed. This enables the vehicle to take over in emergency conditions or send alerts.
“If you’re stressed, nervous, distracted, we can detect these things. This is a big emerging market. A lot of automobile manufacturers are working out how to humanize the technology: the autonomous vehicle people know how to map the world and track other cars, but not much about the people inside them.
“A self-driving car which knows how you are feeling could reassure a stressed passenger, or if you’re happy about it being in control, just do its thing,” said Dr Cavan Fyans, chief technology officer of Sensum.
