First a prosthetic arm powered by a rocket engine, then a prosthetic arm that feels and now thought powered prosthetic arms – the evolution has just been wonderful isn’t it? Developed about two years ago, these thought-powered prosthetic arms are now being used by an Australian, Christian Kandlbauer to drive a modified car.

The 18-year-old Christian, lost both is arms in an electricity accident, and had never driven a car thereafter. Now, thanks to these new prosthetics that connect the remaining nerves at the site of amputation and to automaker Paravan, that has modified a car to accommodate the prosthetics, he can drive with the power of the mind. On Friday Christian will demonstrate the modified car and the prosthetic arms at the Otto Bock Science Centre in Berlin, Germany.
