Vibrating Car Seats to Help Prevent Accidents, Relieve Lower Back Pain
The motors continuously (and lightly) vibrate as the driver cruises down the road. When another car approaches, mounted sensors relay the information to the vibrating motors, and, depending on which side the car is approaching, the motors will vibrate harder under the corresponding side of the seat. Morrell says this touch-based system trumps visual warning signals because it allows the driver to remain more focused on the task at hand: driving. "Looking at [a light] and converting that into an image of a car in your blind spot requires a little more cognitive ability than if something's touching you," Morrell said to Tech News Daily. "It's a more direct pathway into the brain, since touch gives you orientation for free." Even if Morrell's vibrating safety system doesn't cut down on traffic accidents, it could relieve many frustrated drivers of some stress (and back problems). [From: Tech News Daily]

Am I the only one who sees the potential unintended consequences of someone receiving a nice massage whenever he/she approaches another car? I can definitely see people closely trailing other cars for a nice massage.

My daughter who have been involved in four accidents within two years could really benefit from the message seat. For years I wondered how she managed to drive all tensed hands glued to steering wheel. I hope it becomes a standard for most cars.

The way they curl the back of the seats today for a large frame kills the back. I have to buy a car that has a wide flat back for my back not to ache after driving for an hour or so.That's where they accomadate buyers.
