Biometric cooling

[IloveTHIS]

Just saw an ad for the new Infinity QX80

n the all-new QX80, second-row passengers enjoy available Biometric Cooling. An infrared sensor, integrated into the vehicle’s headliner detects when a passenger is hot and near-instantly adjusts the temperature and air flow to send cool air to the second row. It’ll take the edge off an overheated loved one, without those in the front row needing to lift a finger. Disclaimer: System may not engage if sensor is obstructed. System does not have the capability to identify individual passengers.

what you guys think? cool feature or stupid gimmick that wont be worth the price tag when it breaks?

the future is wierd

Just another gadget for the government to monitor us.

In the next pandemic the sensor will detect if anyone in the car is having a fever, and if so, CDC robot SWAT team will drop down from predators drones and send you to quarantine

"Using Infrared Biometric Sensors to Improve Occupant Comfort and Reduce Overcooling"

That last bit just makes me think it's another way for them to to attempt to meet emissions standards by policing how much your air conditioning or heat runs. Curb power consumption, and you curb emissions.

I'll stick to the old school thermostatic temperature control. HVAC units in vehicles have already been neutered to some degree by removing excess capacity...

It's just another thing to break, and it will cost a bunch of money to replace.

It would be cool if it came with an app

That's far too complex... The car locks it's doors, sets the HVAC to recirculation only and drives you straight to the morgue.

Why do you think they fit bioweapons defence grade air filters, it protects against things getting in and out of the vehicle.

That's the best thing........
