Mercedes invents a car that reads the driver's mind
The German company has incorporated the system – fully functional but still in an experimental form – in its 'concept car' Mercedes-Benz Vision AVTR. That car was unveiled at CES in Las Vegas 2020, but this mind-controlled version has been unveiled at IAA Mobility 2021. According to the German giant, visitors to the show will be able to test it themselves.
