Driverless lorries

Driverless lorries

Self-driving cars are one thing, but the Transports Research Laboratory (TRL) wants driverless lorries on UK roads in the very near future. The idea is for up to three lorries to drive in convoy, with the lead vehicle controlling the acceleration and braking of the two vehicles behind it. The "slave" lorries, while still having a "driver" to steer them, would be able to drive much closer together, compared to humans driving, and therefore reduce fuel costs and emissions. 

We'll soon live in a future where our deliveries and cargo are transported by computer powered transport. More efficient and always on time.

Robots in space and in the workplace

Robots in space and in the workplace NASA is already sending robots of different shapes and sizes into space. As technology progresses, this makes sense. Robots don't need to worry about oxygen to breathe or food to eat and they can be packed full of sensors to send data back to Earth.  The same applies in the workplace. Robots can take on the more difficult, dangerous and dull jobs to save mankind the trouble and risk. They can also theoretically operate more quickly, efficiently and with fewer mistakes too.

WEARABLE SCREEN

Wearable screens We might be currently daydreaming of foldable phones and screens, but the future might well be screenless. There are plenty of touch-capable projector-like devices that can beam usable screens onto your skin, clothing or other surfaces. The future of smartphone tech might not even require a device in your pocket but something you wear or have implanted. DISCOVER BY AZAD SINGH

Solar panel technology

Solar panel technology Solar panels are another technology that has been around for a while, but their future potential is huge. Not only can they now be hidden in the tiles on the roof of your house thanks to  Tesla Solar Roof  tiles, but some companies are developing ways of  integrating them into car roofs , where they will be able to power in-car tech or make the battery last longer DISCOVER BY AZAD SINGH
