Cars which read brainwaves could be available in five to 10 years

Cars which can read drivers' brainwaves and speed up their reaction times by anticipating acceleration, steering and braking, could be available within five to 10 years. Pioneered by Nissan, the Japanese motoring giant unveiled their Brain-to-Vehicle technology (B2V) at the CES 2018 trade show in Las Vegas, US. The company claims it will enable vehicles to interpret signals from the driver's brain, redefining how drivers interact with their cars. Nissan also said that as well as making road travel safer, the cars will keep adapting to make driving more enjoyable. ''When most people think about autonomous driving, they have a very impersonal vision of the future, where humans relinquish control to the machines," said the company's Executive Vice President Daniele Schillaci. ''Yet B2V technology does the opposite, by using signals from their own brain to make the drive even more exciting and enjoyable. Through Nissan Intelligent Mobility, we are moving people to a better world by delivering more autonomy, more electrification and more connectivity."
