The first mind-controlled car has been developed in Tianjin in China by researchers aiming cars that uses brain to control and drive the vehicle.
Nankai University researchers had developed and researched the first mind-controlled vehicle two years, Reuters reported.
The driver will just wear a brain signal-reading device to control the car, either loving forward or backward, or either locking of unlocking the vehicle, even without the use of their hands and feet, the report said.
The brain signal-reading device has 16 sensors that get electroencephalogram (EEG) signals from the brain, the report added.
Zhang said that the driver's EEG signals are captured by the device to be transmitted to the vehicle's computer. Moreover, Zhang said that the vehicle's computer processes the signals which are translated to control command to drive the car. Zhang also said that the core of the process is to capture EEG to control the car by the driver, the report said.
Duan Feng, a professor from the College of Computer and Control Engineering of Nankai University and the project head said that the driverless cars could bring us benefits to serve whatever purpose it may give to the people, the report added.
These mind-controlling cars could help the community as the increase in pollution is evident due to car emissions which contribute to climate change, PC Tablet reported. Moreover, this would help people with disabilities to travel by the use of these cars, the report said.
This type of car would be the beginning of possible innovations to the future generation of cars to address many issues including climate change, the report added.
