[NetEase Smart News, January 8] The self-driving car has begun to drive on our streets, which provides a clear signal for the change in the traditional driving experience. However, some experienced drivers may be reluctant to give control of driving to artificial intelligence. In order to provide a middle ground between traditional driving and self-driving cars, car manufacturers provide driver assistance functions that help improve the driver's driving experience, such as braking when the driver is inattentive or assisting in parking. .
Nissan, however, put forward different ideas in the middle ground. The carmaker announced in early January 2018 that the company is developing a "Brain-to-Vehicle (B2V) interface" that, if implemented, will increase the driver's response time and thus make driving safer.
This “human-driven, semi-automated collaboration†will enable the latter to predict the behavior of the former by reading and interpreting human brain signals through electroencephalography (EEG) techniques, such as turning the steering wheel or pressing the brakes. In doing so, semi-automatic vehicles will start these actions 0.2-0.5 seconds earlier. The car maker called it Nissan Intelligent Transportation. When it is in automatic mode, the system can also adjust to detect driver discomfort and adjust the drive accordingly, or use augmented reality to change what the driver sees.
“When most people think about autopilot, they have a very 'non-human' view of the future, that is, humans give up control of the machine. However, B2V technology does exactly the opposite, using signals from the human brain to make Driving has become more exciting and enjoyable,†Daniele Schillaci, executive vice president of Nissan said in a statement. "With Nissan Intelligent Transportation, we will provide more autonomy, electrification and connectivity to create a better world for people."
Nissan plans to display their results at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas next week at the 2018, which will further demonstrate the extent of the technology's development. The Verge reported that it is unclear how the company has accomplished this task, but related videos show that people wear a black small headset. In addition, The Verge reported in 2016 that some neurologists are concerned about the application of brainwave technology to vehicle driving.
Of course, we can't be sure what will happen to Nissan's "Brain-to-Vehicle" interface before it is exhibited at CES. However, a representative of Nissan told The Verge, “This is a relatively early stage and it is not yet close to the implementation stage. Our goal is to achieve practical application in 5 to 10 years.â€
The brain-control interface idea is nothing new, although it is equally exciting. In September last year, researchers for the first time connected the human brain to the Internet and turned it into a "Internet of Things (IoT) node on the World Wide Web." Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk hopes to one day be able to brain Integration with the computer allows us to compete with artificial intelligence.
The Security of brain-computer control interfaces is still a problem, especially in driving, and whether the technology will be more advanced than a fully automated car is still to be examined. For self-driving cars, there is still a long way to go to become the safest mode of transportation. We should also realize that many auto-driving accidents also have unavoidable responsibilities.
Maybe Nissan's demonstration next week and its ongoing development project will help us begin to answer these questions.
