Okay, let's be real.
Driving in South Florida can be pretty stressful, right? After all, you never know if that silver Lexus with the right turn signal on really is going to make that turn.
But soon, your MKS maybe able to give you tips on how to calm down.
Ford is teaming up with the AgeLab at MIT to identify stressful driving situations. Scientists will monitor drivers' reactions to those situations and then identify technology available that might be able to help reduce the stress that comes from those situations.
The MKS, because it is loaded with technology, will be used as the test vehicle initially.
Not sure what the folks at MIT have in mind, but think of this.
You're 20 minutes late for an appointment and you're all worked up. Now the guy in front of you is going 30 when the speed limit is 50.
All of a sudden a voice from you NAV system that sounds a lot like your wife tells you to calm down and before you know, soothing music is coming out of your radio and images of waves rolling onto a beach appear on your NAV screen. A little compartment suddenly opens and the next thing you know a little pill, maybe Xanex or Valium is there just for you.
Okay, so maybe they won't go that far. But it's an idea.
