The car that puts you to sleep

Mercedes Benz system uses aromatherapy and soft music to encourage drivers to take a power nap.

Mercedes-Benz is developing a car that will help put drivers to sleep.

The company’s “Active Comfort” system uses aromatherapy, lighting and soft music to help a driver to nod off quickly if they pull over to take a power nap.

The system was developed with long-haul truck drivers in mind, but the company says it will be rolled out to its passenger car range in the future. The techniques can also be used to keep drivers awake while they’re behind the wheel.
