Prevent Outside Bad Odors
54
Now Implemented!
Description
One solution could be at specific locations, set the air to recirculate based on the GPS position. A bonus would have a pre-known map of odorous locations.
Competitive/Pricing/Notes
The air quality inside tunnels and specific spots is often bad, and setting the air to recirculate is a common way to reduce the odors.
A bonus feature would to have vehicles share geofenced ‘bad odor’ locations, perhaps when 5 or more different vehicles trigger the recirculation in the same location.
Status
The need for this seems to have been eliminated with the HEPA and charcoal filters with the 2016 refresh. We’re closing this one out.

I currently drive by a refinery, on the River Rouge, Detroit. Eh Gads, what a smell!! I do use the recirculating setting but tend to forget to reset it to the outside setting, once past the refinery. By not resetting the air flow, the car begins to get foggy/stuffy, (heater, setting only, not air conditioning), so if you could use a auto setting, GPS based and include a icon to let you know it is running.
The list for California would be limited to the Harris Ranch feedlot on I5, but for Texas it would have to include every feedlot and refinery in the state. A couple of terabytes, probably.
