Rinspeed Senso
Rinspeed has developed a car that senses the driver's mental state and tries to sooth and relax him/her. There are several sensors in the car that observe the behavior of the driver, like how close to cars he/she gets, how often he/she changes lanes, etc. Based on several such sensors, it determines the state of the driver's mind.
Accordingly, it soothes the driver's senses by using 3 of the human senses - vision, hearing and smell. It emits various colored lights, sounds and odors to keep the driver relaxed. The idea being that a relaxed driver is a better and safer driver.
The Rinspeed will be powered by a Porsche Boxter S engine. The engine is modified to run on natural gas, so it's more environmentally friendly.
The Rinspeed Senso will be unveiled at the Geneva Motorshow this March. For more information refer to Rinspeed's article on the Senso.
