Mercedes-Benz demos mind controls in its 'Avatar'-inspired car of the future
Fox News
Mercedes-Benz is developing a brain-computer interface that allows passengers to control a car's function with thought. The technology is being demonstrated in a concept car inspired by the film "Avatar."
The system uses a device the passenger wears on their head that monitors brain activity and, after a short calibration period, lets them adjust the navigation, climate control, radio and other functions with just a thought. "Mercedes-Benz has always pioneered intelligent, innovative solutions to provide our customers with the best product and service experience. BCI technology works completely independently of speech and touch. This opens up revolutionary possibilities for intuitive interaction with the vehicle," board member Britta Seeger said. The user just has to focus on a particular light on the car's large, amoeba-like digital display to select a function, including choosing a particular parking space for the autonomous car to steer itself into.
