Car powered by thought

Computer scientists in Germany have invented a car that can be steered by the power of thought.

Using commercially available sensors to measure brain waves, staff at the AutoNOMOS innovation labs of Freie Universität in Berlin were able to distinguish the bioelectrical wave patterns for control commands such as "left," "right," "accelerate" or "brake" in a test subject.

They then found a way to connect the sensors to a vehicle so it could be controlled by them.

Test drives took place on the site of the formerTempelhof Airport.
