The Walt Disney Co. hasn't ignored the emergence of auto-driving cars and what that may mean for the future of theme parks.
That's why a new Disney patent, titled "Sensing and Managing Vehicle Behavior Based on Occupant Awareness" looks at a way to read riders' emotions or pre-determined interests to customize ride experiences. For example, the patent states that via a camera on the vehicle or a wearable ID device — say Disney's MagicBands — a ride system could read rider facial expressions such as being excited or bored, and then alter the course of the attraction to increase/decrease speed, spin more or less often, change the tone of display scenery and/or more to improve the ride for guests.
