[QUOTE="Famine, post: 12138377, member: 9036"] [b][color=indigo]That's not really relevant to this system though. The idea isn't that it uses what you're thinking - which is commonly Not Much among the driving public - to control the car. It doesn't control the car at all, in fact. It detects what you're intending to do with the controls and prepares other safety systems to compensate. Those people who treat every control as digital? The car will sense the intent to accelerate and prepare the traction control system rather than waiting for slip, or sense the intent to brake and prepare the brake preload and ABS systems rather than waiting for the pedal stamp and locking up. Or it'll detect the appropriate amount of steering angle for the approaching corner at the speed you intend to take it and adjust the stability control (or steer-by-wire system - Nissan has one after all) before it all goes tits up rather than while it is. It's broadly the same technology we have in thought-controlled prosthetics now - it detects the intent to carry out a motor function and adjusts itself accord to the type and magnitude of the function intended. Or it'll sense that you feel cold/hot before you make a conscious decision that you are cold/hot and change the climate controls accordingly. Or flick off Absolute 80s the microsecond your brain twigs it's U2, because it knows that you know that U2 suck. It has nothing to do with how much attention the driver is paying to anything.[/color][/b] [/QUOTE]
