Vibrating car components will soon become standard, predicts Japanese parts firm Denso. Shaking steering wheels, pedals, seats, headrests and seatbelts can alert drivers to potential dangers faster than dash lights or warning signs, cutting reaction times by up to a fifth of a second, according to scientists. Auto Express tested a car with a vibrating pedal in Issue 753.
