Breathe and drive

New Nissan models will feature stress-reducing seats and an air conditioner that pumps breathable vitamin C.

The automaker is planning to introduce air conditioners that spray Vitamin C to moisturise the skin of its drivers. They are also utilising research from NASA to develop their seats to enable better blood circulation and reduce back pain.

A Nissan engineer announced the features last week at a test drive event outside Tokyo. He said: "We want drivers to feel that they are healthier staying in the car instead of on the outside."

The features are planned to be made available in new cars within the next two to three years.
