Automotive Biometric Seat Technology

Automotive Biometric Seat Technology

The integration of biometric technology with the automotive seat is popularly termed automotive biometrics seat. It focuses on various segments including vehicular access ignition switch, vehicle immobilizer, rationalization, and health monitoring. The Biometric Seat works by utilising many quick-response sensors that can monitor the driver's body temperature, respiration rate, and heart rate. Additionally, If the car thinks that the driver is too nervous or anxious to be operating the vehicle, it might issue warnings based on this information. Moreover, Sensors built into the steering wheel and seat belts allow for an automated speed limiter, audio warning, and the ability to dial an emergency number. All these factors are the reason for the growth of the automotive biometric seat technology market.

The Automotive Biometric Seat Technology Market is expected to grow at a steady rate of around 5% owing to the increasing concern for driver safety and comfort. Major companies in the market offer biometric seats with technologically advanced features. For instance, Audi’s latest A8 flagship luxury sedan is one of many that offers a customized massage function for the rear seats, clearly with an eye on the future autonomous driving segment.
