Since the invention of the first automobile “powered by a gas engine” in 1886 by Karl Benz, traveling by car has become a central part of our lives. According to a Harvard Health Watch study, an average person will spend about 38,000 hours driving a car in their lifetime. When we get into our vehicle, we automatically adjust the seat position, head restraint and steering wheel ... all done to make our ride as comfortable and safe as possible. It’s no wonder that automobile manufacturers are taking note to improve driver comfort and safety as important selling points since consumers are spending more time not only driving but also sitting and waiting in traffic.
