Electric cars can now predict a driver's next move with 90% accuracy a full second before the person actually turns the wheel.

Brainwave signals captured by EEG headsets provide a clear window into a driver's intentions in chaotic real-world environments. Most driver-assist systems react only after a physical movement or a sensor detects an obstacle. This technology bypasses the physical delay by reading the neural prep work the brain does before moving a muscle. The system works effectively inside moving vehicles where electrical noise and vibration usually make brain readings impossible. Real-world implementation could allow vehicles to begin safety maneuvers or lane changes before the human driver even starts the physical action.
