As smart clothing is reaching a commercial level of maturity, the technology beyond bio-monitoring is being explored for other fields such as the automotive industry. In this case, the textile sensors integrated into a seat must remain contactless to allow for layer of clothing, seat cover, and such. The use of conductive textile materials is a key in creating an electromagnetic field which allow for contactless sensing. The data gathered by the bio-sensors can be used as prevention tool for detecting driver’s over-tiredness and stress or to monitor discomfort among passengers.
