Nissan’s New Infotainment System now Tracks You

When the car starts, that screen appears.

Default is ON.

To turn it off:  Settings > Vehicle Data Transmission Setting > OFF

I’d suggest turning it off for 2 reasons: to limit wireless traffic coming in and out of your car, and why help anyone track you.

Found on the 2016 Nissan Maxima, the upgraded infotainment system includes the debut of the new Nissan Connect Services – built-in safety & security telematics with SOS, automatic collision calling, smartphone remote access to vehicle including engine start, customizable alerts and maintenance notices.

Review for the paper prints in a couple weeks.

 

 

Drive a Car with your Mind

A research team in China has successfully installed thought-controlled computing into a car.

Using only the power of her mind, Xie Lingyue locked and unlocked the vehicle, started it, and then moved it both forward and backward. She mentally informed the trunk to open and side mirrors to fold in.

Now.

For years, who’s been telling you this is coming? The blog tag thought-controlled computing dates back to February 2011.

It’s here guys.

The words ‘neuro’ & ‘neural’ will be part of our vocabulary

We’ll soon be using BCIs – Brainwave-Controlled Interfaces

Remember my 2012 Prediction? What the Mayans really meant?

Hang on, I’ll go grab that old video.

(originally predicted February 2011)

I’ll keep predicting the future, you keep rolling your eyes.

I’m a natural.

Blog tag = the Mind

 

 

So Much Stuff Happening Everywhere & Fast

Because I only confirmed yesterday afternoon I’d be attending the conference (see post below), today has been in fast forward to pull it all off before I fly out Tuesday to Vegas.

That includes writing all my newspaper deadlines ahead of time, because the network at this conference is the most hostile in the world, and to be avoided as much as possible. More about the network here.

Next week’s column is about HUD’s – Heads-Up Displays – week after that has to be finished too – autonomous car infrastructure – so I’m sorry for the light blog update today but that’s why!

Here’s a photo of me with my dream car – Jaguar F-TYPE R – and sorry again gotta run here xo
