world's richest living artist. for many art critics, their favorite nominee has won big. >> there couldn't have been another winner, really, certain spot on. first of all, they're thinking about social issues, political issues, using art for one of the many reasons that it exists. it's not about painting pretty vases are flowers or about kittens playing with balls of wool. it is about speaking to people. >> in awarding a design collective, this prize will shake up the art world, but it shows the best of what art can be. charlie angela, al jazeera. >> what some might call a thinking man's car has been unveiled in china. researchers from the university spent two years to make what they called the mind controlled vehicle become a reality. the driver wears brain signaling reading equipment allowing them to think the car forward, backwards, stopping and you can lock it, as well. the designers say they were inspired to help people who were physically unable to steer.
