As the automotive industry starts it enviable march toward autonomous vehicles, one manufacturer, Nissan is working on Brain to Vehicle technology (B2V). This technology will allow the vehicles to interpret signals from the driver’s brain, redefining how people interact with their vehicles. Nissan says that this technology will speed up the reaction times from the drivers and will lead to vehicles that keep adapting to make driving more enjoyable. How it works: The driver wears a device that measures brain wave activity, which is then analyzed by the autonomous systems. With the vehicle being able to anticipate the intended action of the driver the system can then take action(s), such as turning the steering wheel or slowing the vehicle. According to Nissan, these actions will be 0.2 to 0.5 seconds faster than the driver will be able initiate. A Nissan spokesperson is quoted saying, “Our systems will be able to tell an autonomous vehicle that the driver will be steering in the next 300 milliseconds and we can use this to enhance the execution, synchronizing the support of the autonomous vehicle with your actions.” Nissan demonstrated the capabilities of the B2V technology at the CES 2018 Trade show in Las Vegas, which took, place January 9- 12th.
