Forget about those dreams of flying cars or even time-traveling vehicles, instead the future definitely lies in the Neuron Concept Car. A mind-controlled automobile, it uses brain interface technology to take driving to a more organic level.
Designed by Ian Kettle, the Neuron Concept Car essentially brings man and machine that much closer. Considering that many industries are currently experimenting with mind-control technology (on a smaller scale, of course), this concept doesn't seem so far-fetched. I mean, it has already entered the transportation industry thanks to the PXP Bike.
Due to this radical idea, the Neuron Concept Car also features a free-form interior since there would be no need for things like a steering wheel or dashboard. Basically, the car takes on a more organic existence all together.
