Engineers and programmers from Berlin created an interface that allows you to drive the power of thought. Early tests showed that the volunteers are conventionally at the helm, no problems coping with the task.
Project Engineer BrainDriver laboratory AutoNOMOS created based on Volkswagen Passat almost autonomous vehicle, direction of movement which, as well as the speed of thought define the driver.
E-filling Passat engaged experts Volkswagen Electronics Research Laboratory, and developers can concentrate on software.
First of all, the inventors have provided all sorts of car sensors and cameras to protect the test driver of the possible unpleasant consequences of mental control.
Laser and microwave radar provides car-round visibility, could prevent a collision with obstacles. The current prototype is able to sense the vehicle in front at a distance of 200 meters.
At the head of the volunteer wears a special cap with 16 sensors. It reads the EEG, and the software determines what a person thinks.
Of course, the specific thoughts, it is unable to read. But it can be trained in advance that a certain picture of brain waves should be interpreted as a right turn, the other - turn left, and the third and fourth - acceleration and deceleration.
First, the future driver of a volunteer coach program controlling a virtual cube on a computer monitor. He sent his mind right and left.
So soft got an idea about the thoughts of the driver. Then the real test drive was arranged one controlled only thoughts Passat. "Exercises" were held on the territory of today is not working Tempelhof airport.
As developers write on his website: "Today is just a demo experience. And the result, of course, not enough for a full road test. But the potential for human-machine interface is huge. "
