Nissan builds mind-driven GTR-X 1-seat concept car

Nissan has created a full-scale model of the futuristic GTR-X supercar, which is something between a self-driving car and a motorcycle driven by the power of the pilot's mind.

The Japanese automaker decided to implement inreality project of one of the interns of the design department. The created three-meter X-shaped concept has 4 wheels and is capable of carrying only one person, but in a completely unusual way.

According to the author's idea, while driving the pilot should lie on the body of the GTR-X with his stomach down to ensure optimalaerodynamic performance.At the same time, he must be wearing a special suit, a spherical virtual reality helmet with external cameras, which uses a brain-computer interface to read thoughts and allows one to navigate the road using the incoming video stream.

The final piece of equipment is the backpack, which processes all the information and serves as a bridge between the pilot and the vehicle, ensuring their interaction.

Although to implement this concept in lifeWith a series of technological breakthroughs required, including highly efficient neuromorphic interfaces, autonomous steering systems and 360-degree wheels, Nissan designers were intrigued by the idea of ​​a mental connection between a pilot and a vehicle. In recognition of the young intern's imagination, they produced a full-scale model.

Previously, we also reported on a prototype of an equally futuristic Mercedes-Benz VISION AVTR electric car with a joystick instead of a steering wheel.
