Lithium-air batteries should become the dominant technology for electric cars sooner or later. They have a specific energy comparable to petrol, but are massively more efficient.

I predict that in 100 years computers will be twice as powerful and only the three Richest kings of Europe will be able to afford them.

Seriously though, strawberry float all that robots will be people too nonsense, damn synths!

I think we’ll live much the same as we do now.

AI rights/machine sentience is going to be a fascinating battle. It took humans 100s/1000s of years to accept that other humans were equal (and a lot of people still haven’t accepted it!).

Sentient machines are probably going to be in a lot of trouble and then probably cause a lot of trouble when they strike back.

I think flying cars are perfectly possible, we just realised that people can’t drive on the ground without crashing and it’s a bad idea to let those same idiots fly.

That's exactly the dilemma the auto industry are in now with autonomous cars.
If an autonomous car faces a no win scenario and has to crash and kill the driver or kill a pedestrian or just decides for whatever reason to run someone over who do you blame?
It's neither sentient or conscious but has made a decision and someone has died do you blame the programmers or just chalk it up to bad luck?

Get Kirk to re-programme them.

If creating a colony on Mars is really going to happen I’m fascinated by what kind of society that will become. I imagine the first group to arrive will be mostly science and engineer types to set the place up but who will follow and what will they bring with them from Earth societies? Will there be alcohol and drugs? What drugs? Will they have guns? Will there be religion and if so what religion? Or which religions? How will they get along? What will happen if there is a majority from one country? Will they assume they’re in charge?
Looking at how people get along / don’t get along on Earth, how will the new Martians manage to leave their baggage on Earth?

If there is a colony on mars, I'd love it to end up as some kind of cyberpunk dystopia.

The company who made the cars. When this happens, all cars will be computer controlled and there will be specific rules the cars follow. This only works when there are no random elements (e.g. human drivers).

Yes?

Milton Keynes already autonomous delivery robots, driverless taxi prototypes and as we found out this weekend, male rape and car wash slavery rings. I’m living in the future.

The team set up a miniature dentist office-like setting for the rodents used in the study. They drilled holes into the rats’ molars to simulate tooth decay. Next, adult stem cells were applied to the pulp of the tooth and a non-ionizing, low-level laser was used to stimulate the growth factors. The teeth were then sealed with a temporary cap to be worn over the next 12 weeks. The follow-up x-rays and microscopy analysis showed that the dentin, the layer under the visible enamel, had indeed begun to grow back due to the laser/stem cell therapy.

It's sort of happening.
