BRIGHTON Mich., - Ford Motor Company is currently working on
developing stress detectors that are located in your seat belt and steering
wheel, making your driving experience as safe as possible.
Although there are a few fully functional prototypes of
these sensors, Ford is still in the research stage with this new state of the
art technology. Ford is striving
to find what is referred to as the “sweet spot”, which is the median between
high attention times and low attention times while driving. Once your car detects your levels of
boredom or stress then it will perform a range of actions anywhere from
alerting you to possible upcoming traffic conditions to blocking your phone
from receiving any potentially distracting messages while your focus is
necessary.
How do these sensors detect your stress levels? The seatbelt is responsible for sensing
breathing rate, while the steering wheel measures pulse, skin response and
even has infrared sensing technology that compares the cabin’s temperature with
your own. Temperature changes such
as these can point to a change in the levels of agitation or alertness that you
may be experiencing.
The onboard sensors can influence systems such as
lane-keeping assist and blindspot detection to adjust its alerts depending on
the traffic and environmental changes.
These notify you as to how you should be prepared to react. Ford is definitely driving towards a better
and safer tomorrow!
