Now, get ready for mind controlled cars

Chinese researchers have taken driverless cars to a whole new level. A team of researchers from Nankai University in Tianjin have revealed a car that can be driven using nothing but just your mind. This vehicle has been developed in collaboration with Chinese car maker Great Wall Motor.

The car is controlled via a headset with 16 sensors that sends impulses from the user's brain to the car's processing system. The sensors capture brain signals and the recognition system analyses them, translates them into driving instructions and sends them to the car.

Commenting on the car, Duan Feng, Associate Professor at the University's computing and control engineering department stated that there is still some way to go before the technology can be put into production.

The team which designed the vehicle, on the other hand, claimed this is the first time Chinese researchers have controlled a car in this way.

This technology is in its nascent stage right now and has some room for improvement concerning the car's electronics, which will make the vehicle more secure, intelligent, and user-friendly, according to Feng.

The technology could transform driving and help disabled people to drive, he further added.
