Elderly-Friendly Cars? Sweet!
On its face, the emerging field of neurotechnology might not seem to have much applicibility to the staid, old automobile industry, but as this article suggests it soon could. Toyota is reportedly working with the inventor of Nintendo’s “Brain Age” to develop “intelligent cars” which might help seniors drive more safely. In addition to employing networks of sensors that can control temperature to keep the driver alert or, perhaps, sense if Grandpa is hitting the gas pedal for no reason; Toyota ultimately envisions monitoring brain activity to help sharpen seniors senses and reaction time. It is a great example of “thinking counter-intuitively”—using brain-monitoring technology not only to help the drivers drive better but to use the activity as a form of brain training.
