1. Self-Driving
Cars will be driven on their own in the near future as this system is already innovated underGoogle Self-Driving Car project. This project was led by Google engineer, Sebastian Thrun, who is also the co-inventor of Google Street View and former director of the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. The first autonomous car, a Toyota Prius modified with Google’s experimental driver-less technology was registered in April 2012 under Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles after the Nevada law for self-driving cars went into effect on March 1, 2012. Florida became the second state to allow the testing of independent vehicles on public roads while California became the third. Google has already presented the latest prototype of their driver-less car that had neither steering wheel nor pedals on May 28, 2014.
By 2040, half of all new cars coming off the production line will be hybrids with energy-storing body panels according to Exxon Mobil. A group of nine auto manufacturers in Europe is currently researching body panels made of polymer fiber and carbon resin that can store energy and charge faster than conventional batteries. According to Volvo, these panels could reduce a car’s weight by up to 15 percent.
