Jaguar will read thoughts and to monitor the health of the driver

Jaguar Cars will be able to pick up brain waves of the driver, to monitor its health and predict the actions. The company Jaguar Land Rover has launched several projects, each of which will be responsible for its part of the system. According to Director of Research Jaguar, from the medical technology and aerospace fields to improve road safety.





Brainwave monitoring technology will allow the car to find out if a person pays attention to the road or distracted from it. The main problem of implementation - monitors brain waves usually include a headset. But Jaguar wants to use sensors embedded in the steering wheel: the company will borrow from NASA technology for monitoring the concentration of pilots. The car will tell the driver to watch the road by a vibration in the steering wheel or pedals. If the driver continues to dream about something behind the wheel, the car will give signals to other means, such as sound. The system will come in handy in the future, in the development of unmanned vehicles: cars, if necessary, will transfer control to a person when it is satisfied readiness.

The seat Jaguar built-in sensors that monitor for heart rate and breathing. Medical sensors on a plan developers will be able to detect the disease at an early stage and to determine whether the driver control the car at a time. If necessary, an unmanned vehicle owner himself will take to the hospital. If the driver is exposed to stress, the car will help him relax by changing the lighting and music.

The next project in the framework of "The Sixth Sense Jaguar» - the gas pedal feedback. The pedal will vibrate to warn the driver about the speed limit or a possible collision with another party movement.

Infotainment system car learns the driver's desire to push the button to the touch. Jaguar uses cameras that monitor the movements. Feedback can be implemented by means of ultrasonic waves. The technology will reduce the time during which the driver is distracted from the road. According to tests, Jaguar, technology has allowed drivers to spend on systems management 22% less time.

At the beginning of June 2015 Land Rover has announced technology warning drivers about potholes on the roads. Cars will send information about irregularities encountered in the system, which will report potholes and other connected vehicle sends information to the services responsible for the road surface.
