Haptic Back Rest
Provides Situational Awareness without having you take your eyes from the road. | |
This can either be OEM or an after-market add-on and
will
be known as the HBR (as distinguished from the HB which
is
already taken). It is a combination of those ubiquitous
wooden bead seatcovers and those pin art toys - all
linked
to your car's external sensors.
The HBR provides
continuous situational awareness of all
vehicles and obstacles within a 360 degree radius of your
vehicle. The centre of your back represents your vehicle
while the Haptic Back Rest discreetly lets you know the
whereabouts of
that
taxi trying to sneak up around you on the shoulder
(literally
and figuratively) and the truck coming up your behind.
(Could be painful, that)
After a bit of use, your mind would not even be conscious
of
the HBR's movements but you would just 'know' where
the locations of all hazards around you. As a bonus,
when stuck in
traffic
the HBR can provide soothing waves of massage up and
down
your
back as stress relief.

Or should that be "tactile"? |

Either is good - it just depends on whether you want to go Latin or Greek. Greek works better if you're trying to intimidate people with complete b*******. (For example, "hyper" sounds more special than "super", but means exactly the same thing - but in Greek). |
