Nissan offers vitamin C in air of cars

IN a riposte to those who think a reliance on cars is unhealthy, new Nissan models will feature air conditioners that pump breathable vitamin C and stress-reducing seats, the firm said.

The group is also looking to install “friendly” speedometers that give timely reminders of wedding anniversary dates or birthdays.

“We want drivers to feel that they are healthier staying in the car instead of on the outside,” a Nissan engineer said at a test drive event outside Tokyo.
