When humidity is low, clothing rubbing against car seats can cause static
shocks when a person touches grounded metal. If the car manufacturer puts
some megohms between that metal and ground, touching it will drain the
charge painlessly.
~10 years ago, when 3M still made the "touch me first" anti-static strips
for computer keyboards, I took one and stuck it to the armrest/door handle
of my car then ran the wire in behind the trim and attached the wire to some
point on the body. It worked great. Wish I could still get them!
