Called the BrainDriver, this futuristic car — developed by German researchers — uses an Emotiv neuroheadset to enable brain interface control. In other words, “each action corresponds to a different brain activity pattern, and the BrainDriver software associates the patterns to specific commands — turn left, turn right, accelerate etc.” Video after the break.
