If I wanted to study stressful driving, I’d pick Boston too. Of course MIT is already ideally located for that, and Rosalind Picard’s continued research into discerning human emotions has a study focused on producing a car that can analyze its driver’s stress level. Partially funded by automakers (isn’t it nice when you can get a corporation to pay for your research and it’s for good, not evil?), the hope is that the car can calm the driver down when necessary. Or perhaps it can just tell other cars to get the heck out of the way.
