Many of these futuristic technologies are already available and have been developed, even though many people can only dream of them. Many cars include advanced technology including automated parking, automatic lane correction, potential collision detection and lane correcting. Tesla vehicles, designed by Elon Musk, are available today and feature assisted-driving capabilities. 55 companies currently have the right to test autonomous cars. These vehicles have the potential to be very widespread, but is it feasible?
Streaming movies, music, and other videos
Streaming movies and music is the future entertainment. The internet and television have conspired to make them obsolete and create new ones. According to a Moffett Nason report, streaming revenue has increased by $3 billion from zero to zero in just three years. Although DVDs once appeared to be the salvation of the movie industry's financial situation, streaming has become a public benefit. With this in mind, let's take a closer look at the business models of streaming movies and music.
Driverless lorries
Driverless lorries are not as far-fetched as you might think. While technology is available on the marketplace, it will be more difficult to adapt to different areas. Different types of sensors are required for driverless vehicles, including radar and lidar that is used in airports. These sensors feed into an artificial-intelligence system which may also include modules designed by engineers. Driverless vehicles collect information that can be used to determine whether drivers are alert or not and to adjust their course accordingly.
Robotic exoskeletons
Although robotic exoskeletons are being hyped, there is still a split public opinion. Only 6% claim to have heard of these futuristic devices, while 37% state they are neutral. 52 percent say they are unsure and 52 percent are skeptical. However, the survey results show that opinions about robots are not based upon any particular ideology.
Transparent television
It is possible to have transparent televisions. Although the concept was introduced by LG many years ago, it wasn't until the past few months that it made its way to retail shelves. Unlike the LG model, the Chinese tech giant Xiomi released the first commercially available transparent television in May of 2012. It lacks crisp white details but delivers great clarity and soundscape. If you're interested in a transparent television, you should know that the price is going to be relatively high - RMB 49,999.
Invisibility
People often fantasize about being invisible in futuristic worlds, but not everyone has the means to afford it. But thanks to recent advancements, it is now possible to become invisible using cloaking technology. This technology could be used to disguise huge objects such as cellphone towers or even wreckage. However, it is still far from becoming practical. It's currently not possible to afford it for scientists who are responsible.
