Touch/Feel warning options coming to cars...
http://checkoway.com/url/?s=5d7ba131
Drivers will soon be able to feel their way through traffic with the help of a vibrating car that sends warnings about impending danger by stimulating the sense of touch. Scientists at Oxford University are working with a Japanese car manufacturer to design vehicles with tactile warning alarms built in to the seat, seatbelt, steering wheel and even foot pedals. The aim is to send vibrations to sensitive parts of a driver's body so that they can be warned of possible danger within a fraction of a second of it being detected by the car's computer. What they will vibrate when the computer's "hot woman sensor" detects a "Good looking woman off to the right". |

The "Ben Wah Seat" option looks to be especially popular with the ladies... |

What a scam. If we really cared about highway safety we'd have lower speed limits and prison time for speeders, DUIs and red light runners. |

Sorry, the senate will never push for stricter sentences for DUIers while Teddy's in office. |

It's just like Smart Growth -- the snobs who vote to allow only condos to be built already own nice houses, so they don't ever have to worry about being subject to their own laws. |

It's already here. The Citroen C5 warns by vibrating the driver's seat if you cross a white line without the corresponding turnblinker on. It's an option, but not an outrageously expensive one (couple hundred Euros), and I think standard equipment on the higher trim levels. And of course, it can be switched off.
