Sports car maker Ferrari SpA, for one, has filed a patent application that indicates the company is evaluating technology that would embed wireless electrodes in a car seat's headrest to monitor drivers' brain waves for stress as they pilot machines capable of roaring up to 200 miles per hour.
They would let the sun do its magic and the sound of the waves, the palm trees swishing away under the warm breeze would ease them into a stress-free vacation mode.
