The Neurally-Driven Car?

May 29, 2006 09:42

Honda's doing research into neural interfaces for robotics.

Hm. This can't bode well.

Mind you, for all my bitching about all cars needing three pedals and so forth, I'll be first in line for the neurally-driven car. I doubt I'll see it in my lifetime, though.

While you're at it, check out the Ariel Atom, as reviewed by Top Gear. This car was originally pointed out to my by anvilchorus. Nothing like watching a man's smile deform under heavy Gs...

Of course, you could just watch the newer Top Gear. There's three videos there. Here's a breakdown:

  • The first further underscores what utter rubbish the Prius is.
  • The second explains why the Boxster is still better than the BMW equivalents.
  • The third is just some SUV racing a man who's falling while dressed as a squirrel, set to the Lord of the Rings' Khazad-Dum music. Yeah, not really interesting.

honda, cars
