sAFETY ALERT sEAT
The patented available Safety Alert Seat sends pulses through
the seat cushion alerting you of a variety of potential hazards,
like a lane departure for example. Using a camera sensor, the
driver receives left- or right-side seat vibrations if they were to
drift out of their lane without using their turn signal.
