As some background, what got me thinking about this was an interface I read about that a car company was going to roll out. It's been a while, but it involved plants that grew better if you were driving in an efficient manner, but wilted or something otherwise. Struck me as kind of weird.
Just did a quick search but didn't find the story. Wish I could recall which company it was.
