Emotiv's mind-reading
EPOC headset may not have

Yes, that's a mind-controlled car and, after a bit of training, is does appear to have performed reasonably well -- albeit with a slight delay that makes any real world test a worse idea than it already was. Interestingly, this latest effort actually follows some previous attempts at a completely autonomous car by the same group of researchers at the Freie Universität Berlin, and they say that the two could eventually be combined at some point in the distant future -- for instance, in
a taxi that's able to drive itself but also responds to the thoughts of its passengers. Head on past the break for the video.
