I was finally sitting down after a long day, hoping to relax a little. I turned on the news and heard that Nissan was researching technology where your car could read your mind! Whaaaattttt? I thought of road-rage drivers, under-the-influence drivers, and those who just aren’t the best drivers! Scary. I then started researching to learn more as I couldn’t believe this could ever be a good thing! Here is what I discovered:
- The driver would wear a skullcap that measures brainwaves and activity.
- The autonomous car would analyze this activity in real time.
- The system would then alter steering, acceleration and braking based on the driver’s brain analysis…basically knowing what you want before you do.
- This supposedly improves reaction time and increases driving enjoyment.
- This also enables the car to respond to the driver’s needs to improve the comfort of the drive such as heating/air conditioning. This keeps the driver relaxed.
Why is this important if a car can drive itself without human interference? According to Nissan, we humans enjoy the driving experience and do not wish to give up that pleasure to “a machine.”
We will see…
