Intelligent Off-Road Autos

Mercedes Benz Cyborg Sensation Vehicle is a Bit of a Mind-Reader

— February 15, 2010 — Autos
I always had a concept like this at the back of my head and hoped I would see it materialize in my lifetime. My wish has come true in the form of the Mercedes Benz Cyborg Sensation Vehicle by Derek Chik Kin Ng.

This sweet car is a two-seater off road capable monster that responds to, you guessed it, your thoughts. The Mercedes Benz Cyborg Sensation Vehicle maps out your neural patterns and responds to your mental directions. I just hope they program it with A.D.D. capabilities.
