Nissan unveils technology to control cars with brain signals
IF YOU’RE not yet convinced about the positives of driverless vehicle technology, you’re probably going to be even more sceptical about the latest research Nissan has just revealed details of.
That’s because the Japanese auto giant has announced it’s having success with developing technology that will enable vehicles to be controlled by interpreting signals from the driver’s brain, which really would revolutionise how we interact with our cars.
Nissan calls this technology Brain-to-Vehicle, or B2V, and the claim is that the technology will speed up reaction times so vehicles can continually adapt to make driving more enjoyable than it is already. Nissan is going to be demonstrating B2V at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas January 9-12.
B2V is the latest development in Nissan Intelligent Mobility, which is the carmaker’s ongoing vision of how vehicles will be driven, powered, and integrated into society in the future.
Nissan’s Executive Vice President, Daniele Schillaci, explains, “When most people think about autonomous driving, they have a very impersonal vision of the future, where humans relinquish control to the machines. Yet B2V technology does the opposite, by using signals from their own brain to make the drive even more exciting and enjoyable.” — Relaxnews
