Three quarters of American workers move to their work alone in the car, which means they endure many stresses and strains while driving for long periods, and a project came from Nissan to introduce artificial intelligence to the cockpit.

A report in Time magazine by American writer Cornie Portil pointed to the increase in fatigue that drivers suffer while traveling long distances, or when they encounter traffic jams and congestion on a daily basis.

Autonomous vehicle may be delayed

Technology promises to find solutions to driving problems, as technology companies claim that humans will not drive their cars in the near future as much as they are transported by self-driving cars that travel safely and efficiently to their destinations, leaving people inside free to sleep, work or relax as easily as if they were on their couches. .

The trip can be much less stressful if you can take a nap all the way, read a book or watch Netflix, without worrying about exits or collisions.

The majority of carmakers have fallen short of their most ambitious estimates, and it is likely that decades will pass before these cars become a reality for most drivers.

Meanwhile, commuting by car remains a large and unpleasant part of millions of Americans' daily lives.

Many of the smart car features currently on the market provide data for drivers to help them make these decisions, such as sensors that alert them when cars are in blind spots, or when their cars are drifting off their lanes.

The other thing that causes stress for drivers is uncertainty.One study in 2015 found that passengers who drove themselves to work were more stressed than bus or other passengers, largely due to problems caused by accidents, roadworks, and other traffic congestion. In their schedules, but even if we cannot control the variables that affect mobility we are calmer if we can at least anticipate them.

Project "Nissan Leaf"

The technology offered by the Nissan Leaf's conscious mobility project is designed to work together to reduce driver fatigue. In a driving test earlier this year, an automated chat program that speaks through the car's speakers made it possible to participate in conscious breathing exercises. The driver's seat begins to vibrate at intervals, while a sound prompts the driver to breathe slowly.

The lab published results of a small study earlier this year showing that seat-guided exercise reduces driver fatigue and respiratory rates without compromising performance.They are now experimenting with a second vibration system to see if low-frequency vibrations can be used to slow respiratory rates (and thus fatigue) without exertion. No effort on the part of the driver.

Ultimately the goal is a car that can detect the driver’s high level of fatigue through seat and steering wheel sensors or neck tension cameras, and then automatically help the driver to do a calming breathing exercise, talk about a problem or tell a joke to relieve stress.

The robot inside the car asks if there is a problem that the driver thinks about when noticing signs of stress or fatigue, and asks: Does this problem "significantly" affect his life?

And whether he had encountered something similar before, and whether previous strategies could be adapted to this scenario.

The strategy of robot conversation with the driver has proven to be effective due to its simplicity. Researchers have found that it has a significant effect on the psyche of drivers, especially those who drive long distances alone.
