Nissan Develops 'Forest AC' Air-Conditioning System

There are a number of studies that indicate aromatherapy affects mental activity in humans, and Nissan’s ‘Forest AC’ air-conditioning system aims to use this science to increase drivers’ comfort.

The Nissan ‘Forest AC’ system would automatically control the temperature, ventilation, humidity, and aroma inside the car to match a relaxing forest setting. According to a Nissan press release, they’ve developed this technology alongside the Tokyo University of Science, and it’ll debut in the Nissan Fuga later this fiscal year.
