Brain driven car

Eavesdropper

 
When I first watched this video I had one question, what if the driver spaces out for a little bit? Although my question was not answered, I did see an impressive video of the brain controlled car in operation. The "MadeInGermany" autonomous car designed by Autonomous Labs in collaboration with the Freie Universitat in Berlin, has been controlled by an iPhone, iPad, and now a EEG (electroenzephalogram) tool. The Drive-By-Wire system interprets electromagnetic signals produced by the brain, though I am not sure what they are thinking about exactly to produce the commands. The 21st century promises finally surface.

  • To get past the concentration angle, this is an application where you could have an AI drive the vehicle and let the rider provide directions and commands.  I think that approach would be much more safe than relying on some to think where they want to go.

    I mean really, think of all the idiots trying to drive while they talk on their cell phones, or eat, or talk with their passengers.  I don't think our modern day 15 second attention span will let this design to get anywhere near a real vehicle.

     

    Thanks
