For the application you created what input interface did you use? Was it the car steering wheel or maybe a portable wrist device?

Cool idea!

The whole field of bio-mapping is expanding and your idea is one way to gather data that may have a larger societal benefit. Although you would likely need to “train” the system to dismiss anomalies and outliers in the data in order to average out the “typical” emotional response of a driver. For example, the average Joe would not get an emotional response by passing some stranger’s ex-girlfriend’s house (as shown on the SF map)! However, perhaps it could become a personalized emotional map of your own travels. I think a geographer in London performed a similar biomapping project during the past year or two.

Several years ago I used the Hertz NeverLost system to guide me from John Wayne airport in LA to Long Beach. Thankfully it didn’t direct me through any high crime areas, but a “less stressful” option on the GPS would have come in handy!

Nice post!
