Anti-theft systems and integration is standard in even the cheapest of cars, but researchers at the Advanced Institute of Industrial Technology in Tokyo take it to the next level. They developed a car seat that identifies its driver by measuring the pressure their body puts on the 360 sensors.
Every sensor measures the driver’s weight and creates a grid that matches the distribution of the weight. Once that information is collected it is relayed to a computer, which matches it to the registered measurements and allows the car to be driven. The seat had about 98 percent accuracy during experiments. The research team is working with car manufacturers to develop a commercial version of the product in about two to three years.
