Title: Nissan's sweat-sensing car seat signals dehydration
Post by: eye30 on October 02, 2017, 17:57:13

Nissan has shown off a prototype sweat-sensing car seat which it says could help prevent road accidents.

The technology, called Soak, changes colour if perspiration is high in salt, suggesting dehydration.

Previous research by the European Hydration Institute and Loughborough University found that dehydrated drivers were as error-prone as those who had drunk alcohol.

There are currently no plans to bring Soak into production.
