LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) – A new smart car seat can keep a driver calm by actively monitoring the commuter’s physical and mental status, according to the maker.

“We’ve built a seat called Active Wellness. And what it does is allows us to understand something about your heart rate, your respiration rate, and then analyze that to really understand your stress level,” said Matthew Benson, an advanced innovation manager at Faurecia, one of the world’s largest automotive-equipment suppliers.

I'm afraid I can't do that Dave.

[JimSEA]

I’d be scared that after determining my health, a truly smart car would take me out an bury me.

[KarlInOhio]

Look Dave, I can see you’re really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over.

[cripplecreek]

The car would piss me off more than anything else I might encounter on the road.

It used to calculate the drivers intelligence but a programming flaw made it always report that the driver was stupid. The flaw went unnoticed fro years.

So if you you put a gun in it my dh thinks it locks it’s doors and self destructs with you in it. The gun made me do it!

[Smokin' Joe]

No Thanks.

I don't even like anti-lock brakes.

Both relevant.

You’re one away from a trifecta.

Of course not, it's a smart car. It lights a match.
