Jaguar Land Rover start research using brain waves to detect driver drowsiness while driving.
British luxury car manufacturer owned by the Indians, said the research team that includes Mind Sense "eminent neurologist".
According to Car Advice, Sunday, June 21, 2015, they are currently investigating the possibility of using brain waves to determine the signs of the driver who started off guard.
According to the company, the human brain produces at least four waves at different frequencies.
Therefore, the computer in the car can monitor this wave and find out if the driver was the focus, distracted, daydreaming, or drowsiness.
After concluding the car driver was "floating", the car can be warned by vibrating pedal or steering wheel in order to re-focus.
Jaguar Land Rover believes the detection method of brain waves by installing sensors in someone's head, it is not practical.
Instead, the company uses a technology that is currently used by NASA and the US bobsleigh team, by putting sensors on the steering wheel.
In addition, the company is also currently designing "health chair" to line XJ sedan. This high-tech chair will feature "medical sensors" to monitor heart rate and breathing.
This chair is able to detect signs of weakening health, and to determine whether the driver can continue to drive a car.
