MIT creating a car that helps drivers make decisions
| June 2, 2008 |  View for printing |
From the outside, it looks like any other vehicle parked in the lot next to the AgeLab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
But open the doors and the black Volvo SUV turns into something out of science fiction. Minicameras and infrared lights mounted above the steering wheel monitor the driver's eye and eyelid movements. Wires stored in the console monitor the driver's heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration. A device in the trunk monitors lane drifting. Real-time data pops up on a backseat computer monitor, all of it stored on a hard drive in the trunk.
