Brain waves lead way to safer driving

Stepping on the gas and brake or holding the wheel to drive a car has become unnecessary in an ongoing project at Nankai University in Tianjin.

Researchers carried out an experiment last week, trying to control a car by the driver's brain alone.

Instead of the usual way of steering a car, the driver puts on equipment similar to headphones which collects brain signals from 16 points. It then is converted to orders and sent to the car.
