Built In Aromatherapy in Your Car?

Researchers in India and the US are working with experimental technology that will recognize when I driver is sleepy and respond with blasts of aromatherapy scents to increase alertness. Tens of thousands of accidents are caused each year when drivers fall asleep behind the wheel. But now thanks to this new facial recognition technology, the car will be able to define between a yawn and other facial expressions and respond with a warning that the driver needs to stop driving and rest.

Nissan Motors has taken this technology a step further. They are integrating aromatherapy into their new Forest AC system. This system will monitor things like humidity, temperature and ventilation and respond with an appropriate aromatherapy scent to increase alertness when needed. This system is currently being tested in the Nissan Fuga, which will only be released in Japan at this time.

It’s important to remember that the Japanese have been doing a number of studies on the effective uses of aromatherapy, including one impressive study that showed that workers who were exposed to citrus scents while working had a more than 50% reduction in errors over those who weren’t.

With this new technology being developed in Japan, it’s only a matter of time before this is available in the US.
