BrainDriver technology: driving the car by... thoughts?

Could you ever imagine that you might steer your own vehicle using just your...thoughts? Well the BrainDriver technology allowed a team of German researchers from Freie University in Berlin to drive a car using the power of the mind.

The new technology is based on an advanced electronic equippement comprising video cameras, radar and laser sensors which offer a three-dimensional view of the surroundings and the "driver" is fitted with a 16-sensor headset wirelessly connected to the vehicle's electronic control system.
