Polestar tries to quantify what it’s like to drive a performance car
Summary
Ars Technica reports on Polestar's collaboration with University of Oxford to measure the driver experience behind the wheel of the Polestar 4 using physiological sensors, eye-tracking, and car telemetry. The pilot study with 12 drivers found AWD models deliver higher performance metrics and that drivers rate handling and overall experience higher, suggesting human factors are critical to perceived performance.
