Driving in chaotic urban traffic can be as nearly as stressful as jumping out of an airplane, according to new findings from an Audi and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) study. For Audi, the research helps validate how driver assistance and connectivity technologies can help ease the stress of daily driving.
