‘Thoughtful’ Cycling – Is It The Way Of The Future? [Video]
01 Aug 2011 by Jasmine Stone in Cycling, Tech/Sci, Vibe
Toyota and bicycle maker, Parlee have developed a bike that can read your mind. The Prius X Parlee changes gears by registering the cyclist’s brain waves, through the use of an experimental iPhone app and a fancy thought sensitive helmet.
Before riding, cyclists needs to train the bike to pick up their brain waves through the helmet, which is worn while practicing moving an object on an iPhone screen with their mind. After a while, the bike’s neuraltransmission technology can link the user’s thoughts with a particular shift in gear.
While still in its prototype stage, developers believe this nifty idea coupled with the bike’s aerodynamic carbon fibre design will make it extremely popular with cyclists.
Now drivers just need an app which allows them to read cyclists’ minds and we’ll all live happily ever after.
