![]() ![]() For example, in 2010 Emotiv released the Emotiv Epoch+, a commercial wearable device designed to enable users to play computer games on a screen through functioning as a brain-computer interface device (Admittedly the design was not without it’s challenges as this review attests). I thought, what if you could use today’s technology to enable the signals to be transferred to the computers onboard of a car instead, so you can give a rebirth to the whole driving experience?”ĭass explained that emerging technology like movement through brain wave signals, gesture and facial recognition and sensor technology s along with augmented reality made his design more than a well intentioned concept. In paraplegia the brain signals do not reach the human organs bellow the neck, so the brain signals are basically lost. “the first point of research is the capabilities of the human body when functionality has been impaired. ![]() It’s always interesting to learn how a designer approaches the design experience, Dass revealed: Everyone loves driving so my interest was how can we use today’s technology to solve these problems for an audience that are generally overlooked? How can today’s tech be used to enable the same driving experience that he enjoyed previously?” He wanted to get back on the track but came back as an owner rather than driver. He was made paraplegic due to a racing car accident in 2000. “ Audric Design basically was designed with a particular person in mind, Sam Schmidt, former Indy Racing League driver. He detailed his rationale for a car designed specifically for people with quadraplegia, a cohort of people who until now have only featured in the automated cars of the future as mere passengers. He’s interned for Volkswagen in Germany and worked in a range of car dealerships, so has seen car technology from a range of angles. He has an impressive design history which includes fronting a winner team of the 2016 Michelin Challenge Design for the Google Community Vehicle and Winner of the Vehicle, Mobility and Transport Design 2014-15 A’Design Award for a Micro Taxi among awards. Rajshekar Dass is a car designer from Mumbai, India currently based in Turkey. At first the idea seemed mere fantasy but as I spoke to transport designer Rajshekhar Dass and learnt move about the control of technical devices through brain waves, facial gestures and infinitesimal movements the idea seemed more of conceivable. My interest was piqued when I came across design plans for car that could be controlled by a driver with quadriplegia. In a time where the driverless automated car is becoming a modern reality, we are provided with great potential to make things previously improbable if not impossible suddenly possible.
