The automaker is also in the midst of putting together medical-grade sensors to embed in the driver's seat, particularly for the Jaguar XJ luxury sedan. Those sensors will be in charge of making sure you're fit to drive; it could, for instance, dim the lighting or play some music if it senses stress. In future cars with self-driving capability, it could detect whether you're having a seizure or a heart attack and automatically take control of the steering wheel.

Jaguar wants to make sure its fancy infotainment system doesn't distract you, as well, so it's developing an upgraded version that can predict what you want to press before your fingers even reach it. It actually already has a prototype of a mid-air touch screen display that uses cameras to track your hands. In the future, the company plans to add ultrasonic feedback in order to trick your brain into thinking you've already touched the screen. Finally, the British company's working on an accelerator pedal that provides haptic feedback. It could vibrate when you're going over the speed limit, for example, or as a warning that you're going to hit another vehicle.
