Mazda Developing Car That Stops If Driver Experiences Health Problem

The automaker says it's developing a system that can detect when a driver experiences health complications and safely bring the car to a stop.

Cars already know how to park themselves, warn drowsy drivers, steer back into the right lanes and propose map routes to destinations. The cars Mazda has in the works for next year in Japan know when drivers have a stroke or heart attack.

By 2025, the cars will even know when drivers are about to have a sudden health problem and warn them, according to the Japanese automaker.
