The way the telephone, the automobile, cell phones, and the internet have changed society.

Is mass adoption of autonomous vehicles that type of game changer?

Will it be something energy related?

What are the OTs thoughts?

Socialism.

Unless you just mean changing society for the better. In that case, AI or VR machines probably

I really thought by the year 2020 we would all be doing Jetsons spaceship-type shite by now.

Self driving cars easy.


Personal car ownership will become uncommon

Augmented reality first, then VR.

Autonomous vehicles after that only because too many stakeholders will lose big bucks once it gets implemented.

Neuralink sounds awesome and terrifying.

Honestly? Whatever the lads at the LSU gravitron lab are cooking up.

Can you imagine what that might mean to the logistics industry if they came up with an "engine" that negated the weight of shipping containers? You could use 4 cylinder engines to pull LTL loads. would literally revolutionize how we get things done in the world.

and before you go calling me crazy, before Marconi, smoke signals were it. It was the stuff of heresy that you could "beam" messages across the prairie.

THIS. Huge societal and ethical considerations if you can choose your child’s race and IQ.

An effective battery cell....with alternative energy options, having batteries than can be mobile and hold mass amounts of energy will be clutch.

Imagine tailgating with a battery cell instead of a generator.
