Ford has developed a cot that simulates a car journey at night.
Max Motor Dreams includes the motion of the car, engine noise, and even the street lighting of those night‑time drives.
It comes to life using a smartphone app.
“After many years of talking to mums and dads, we know that parents of newborns are often desperate for just one good night’s sleep.
“But while a quick drive in the family car can work wonders in getting baby off to sleep, the poor old parents still have to be awake and alert at the wheel,” says Max Motor Dreams designer Alejandro López Bravo, of Spanish creative studio Espada y Santa Cruz.
“Max Motor Dreams could make the everyday lives of a lot of people a little bit better.”
For now, the Max Motor Dreams is a one-off pilot.
But the company is considering putting the cot into full‑scale production.
