NISSAN ANNOUNCING MIND-READING CARS, B2V (BRAIN-TO-VEHICLE) IN CES 2018

Nissan is creating a new technology that is called Brain-to-Vehicle (B2V), that will help the car interpret human mind and thoughts. It is going to bring AI in the Auto industry as already Tesla and Audi has tried in some other ways. It will be a AI based system that learns from your brain waves patterns and in the future can predict how the car should react to your intentions. What this technology is aiming is to help newer cars better anticipate driver decisions and work with the human operator rather than to function autonomously. Nissan is planning to present the technology in its cars in the auto show part of the CES 2018.

In this CES show that is going to start in Jan 9th, you are going to see a lot about cars that drive themselves using computers and the use of AI in auto industry. Nissan seem that is not going to omit the human factor and adopt the new approach of car makers with human behaviors. So your brain will have a role in the driving modes, necessarily, involving your hands and feet. Nissan is researching technology that uses brainwave-sensors to detect what a driver intends to do in the next fraction of a second or, in a self-driving car, what he expects the car to do. Nissan hopes to have some version of Brain-to-Vehicle (B2V) ready for real-world use in th next five to 10 years, Nissan spokesman Nicholas Maxfield said.

Before that can happen, though, both the sensor device — currently a wire-strewn cap — and brainwave interpretation software need to be improved, he said.

In a human-driven car, the so-called brain-to-vehicle technology could shorten reaction times. Sensors could detect drivers intentions and make faster reaction than human brain-muscle system in less reaction time. For example, the driver’s intention to slam on the brakes. The brakes could then be applied immediately, even before the driver’s foot has touched the brake pedal. Nissan Researchers are also looking at the reverse process, and use brain waves when the car does things the driver did not expect or did not intend to do something and use notification systems to alert the driver. Nissan’s Executive Vice President Daniele Schillaci said:

‘When most people think about autonomous driving, they have a very impersonal vision of the future, where humans relinquish control to the machines. Yet B2V technology does the opposite, by using signals from their own brain to make the drive even more exciting and enjoyable.’
