In Germany, invented a car with a mind control - Brain Driver Video and details



According to CNN, a car based on Volkswagen Passat equipped with video cameras, radar and laser sensors, giving a 360-degree Obor surrounding space. Governance mechanisms are also summed to the steering wheel, throttle and brakes.

However, the main part of the system - a helmet with electrodes, which puts on the head of "driver" (as the person does not touch the bodies of driving, the word "driver" can be consumed only in quotation marks). Sensors read the electromagnetic brain signals and converts them into commands: for this man first trained outside the car, teaching the computer to recognize the incoming pulses.

At the initial stage, the system has learned to "understand" the four commands: to drive, stand, left and right. It was enough that the operator sitting in the car, was able to mentally make the car go, turn at the intersection and stop. While signals travel with a certain delay, in addition, it is unknown how the system would work in real traffic. Nevertheless, the significance of this invention should not be underestimated.
