Thought-Controlled Cars Don’t Require Steering Wheel | Future Cars | Human Brain | LiveScience

Thought-Controlled Cars Don’t Require Steering Wheel | Future Cars | Human Brain | LiveScience: "Car steering wheels could someday become obsolete thanks to a new technology that would let drivers control their vehicles with brain waves.

While not yet ready for prime time, the research team sees applications that include a driverless taxi that lets the passenger select the route simply by thinking it.

The driver would wear a headset complete with sensors that measure electrical activity of the brain and an interface that connects the brain waves to a computer-controlled vehicle. Special software and calibration would allow the interface to convert the brain waves into a driving direction."
