Nissan Developing Mind-Reading Cars

Researchers at EFPL have been working with Nissan to create a mind-reading car that can anticipate the drivers next move. Upon entering the car, drivers would put on a helmet that would moniter brain activity and eye movement patterns. The new system would use statistical analysis that would know you were thinking "turn left" before you actually started to actively think it.

One of the problems discussed about this new technology is what if you were lost? How would the car know where to turn if you yourself don't even know where to go? While there are a few disadvantages of this system, there are also many good things that would come out of it. Cars would be able to communicate with eachother and dramatically decrease the risk of a collision. What do you think about this new technolgy? Is it a step in the right direction, or a step in the wrong one?
