Panasonic Has Some Nifty Toilet Seats

The Japanese seem to incorporate some rather advanced technology into everything, and this time Panasonic has come up with some rather techie toilet seats. The toilet seats sport a variety of sensors that can detect you entering or leaving the room and make a decision to open/shut and flush the toilet bowl. It can also sense the room temperature and adjust the temperature of the seat to match it.

It certainly is something that we wouldn’t mind having in our homes.
