This technology was developed by moneysupermarket in the project named Epid Mind Drive.

Experts replace the driver's seat BMW i3 with a set of equipment which can be stepping on the accelerator and turned the steering wheel in accordance brain commands.

Those who control it are beyond a certain distance from the car. He uses a headset named electroenchepalography (EEG).

These tools can read the human brain activity that then sends a message to the equipment in the driver's seat via radio waves to accelerate and steer the vehicle.

Previously, drivers are specially trained to be able to think to the left, right, forward, and stop using the software. Thinking to the left can be associated with certain objects, such as flying balloons. So when the driver thought balloon, the car will turn left, thus hereafter.

"The car without the driver is now being tested on the road. But until the cars were actually realized in the way, we will know that it is important for motorists to use their heads to drive," said David Harling, digital marketing director moneysupermarket, such as quoted by the Daily Mail.

On July 16, 2015, a select few are given the opportunity to test this technology.

In addition, moneysupermarket also make game-related smartphone that can be used by many people. The difference is, in the game they control the pace of the car using facial motion and gesture through a camera phone.
