Anti-Theft Car Seat Identifies Driver With 360 Sensors @ Mobile Magazine.
With all the advances in technology, anti-theft measures for automobiles really haven’t moved along at the same pace.

Surely a fingerprint reader on the steering wheel would be more effective.

98% accurate?

“yo! youse 100 guys …g’over here! uh… ralphie! you’re the ‘legal owner’ of this here test seat, right? si’down. [type type…] ok, the seat is set for your ugly butt. number #2 – sit!” and after all had sat, and many butt related jokes were said, only one other (“raoul”) had a butt like unto ralphie’s: “98% accurate”.
Which translates as one hell of a lot of stranded customers waiting for one hell of a lot of engineers, with corresponding bills. That’s if you happen to carry around ID. What about the guy who’s picked up a load of change in his pockets, or is on a diet, or – the list is endless.
As the risk of your car being stolen outside just one or two crime areas is much lower than 2%, the cure’s worse than the problem. Put it down as another of the Edison 300.
No thanks! Doesn’t convince me. However, my car is so old I would pay a thief…
