Earlier, automaker Toyota filed a patent for a personalized fragrance dispenser system that proposes a simple idea: when the car recognizes someone as an authorized user, it can spray out their favourite scent, but if the car gets broken into, it can spray out tear gas to make those thieves run away.

The system can detect when someone is walking up to them and spray their favourite scent out of multiple perfumes in advance and will deodorize the car after they leave, returning it to its neutral scent. In order to detect the person, the system relies on signals sent from a paired smartphone, explained Futurism.

Also, if the system detects an ‘illegitimate engine start’, it can dispense tear gas instead of perfume, most probably sending the thieve away. Though cars already have fragrance dispensers, according to CNET, Toyota describes it as the first attempt to personalize them.
