eyeDriver - Steering a real car using SMI's eyetracker

This video demonstrates how to steer the autonomous car 'Spirit of Berlin' using an eyetracking-device made by SMI.
The steering wheel is controlled by the driver's eyemovement, while the gaspedal is controlled by an operator in the back .
The eyeDriver software and the car were developed by the AutoNOMOS labs at the free university of berlin.

It only takes one big breasted blond jogger to distract you and then Bam, you just nailed a kid on his/her bike.

They're just demonstrating their eye tracking device, they're not trying to say that this should be used by anybody for any real use.

Nice video, very interesting! thanks for sharing, god bless!

guys calm down geez. first, and foremost let me say cars already drive themselves. remember the DARPA challange? --- you should read more than "an" article. also check into the UPI crusher. So..... with tech like that, who needs tech like this. Dangerous? I agree. But it might be helpful for wheelchairs. too bad they can look both ways when crossing the street though.

@SignedAnon

lol, just 157? I have an IQ of 198 and I'm telling you that with the proper funding and resources many people could do more beneficial things. However, you should understand that people who provide funding and resources don't decide it by flipping a coin, they know what they're doing and your made your conclusion in 5 seconds...

@LuisAceituno92

I have an IQ of 157 and you're sitting here doubting me. If the car will be able to drive itself, why would you ever need to steer with your eyes? Who is that lazy that they don't even want to put their hands on the wheel if the car is in any sort of danger? And trust me, with the proper funding a resources I could easily do something more beneficial with my time that what they have done there.

Taking the scenic route would be out of the question

@SignedAnon lol, man, shut up. 3 things just so that you know:

1. I'm obviously more informed than you, I read an article about this and for what I've read in your comments, you haven't... it's either that or you didn't understand it.

2. It doesn't drive itself yet, but the idea is it will, and you will only steer it with your eyes when needed.

3. The simple fact that you think that you're smarter than those who created this, makes you look dumber than you already are, so please stop.
