Nissan is developing a new technology that will help the driver to drive car by using his mind by reading your brain waves. This "brain-to-vehicle" interface will allow the car to perform actions like using brake or swerve 0.2 to 0.5 seconds faster.
Driver Will Use a Cool Skull Cap
Driver will wear a skullcap that will transmits signals from brain to steering and acceleration system. Driver however will perform the same action by its hands or feet but they will be initiated 0.2 or 0.5 seconds before the actual action. This will produce some discomfort for driver but it will reduce accidents.
Project is in Its Early Phase
According to Nissan the project is in its early phase and it will take almost 5 to 10 years to release the product into the market. Automatic driving is the aim of every company related to vehicle manufacturing even google is trying its best to launch fully automatic cars without drivers. This is however another concept of using brain neurons to control the activities. Scientist are doing research about the measurement of signals produce by brain for particular activities. There are other devices like this and they use the head set with electrodes in them that touch our scalp and receives the signal but they all have limitations.
