The SmartFit App Provides Foolproof Car Comfort
Michael Hines — November 22, 2010 — Autos
Long car trips are about to get a whole lot comfier thanks to the SmartFit App from Faurecia. The SmartFit App works in conjunction with Faurecia's SmartFit seats to contour your seat to your body's specifications.
Users input their height, weight, and gender into the SmartFit App along with a full profile picture of them sitting down. The app calculates the data and sends you back a file which you then transfer via Bluetooth to your seat. I'm sure Faurecia's SmartFit seats will be more than passed my price range, but I'm still willing to dream. My pleather bench seat is becoming unbearable.
