Automated Vehicles Our Future

automated vehiclesWe live in interesting times. I recently saw a report on automobiles becoming totally automated. Hello Jetsons! I’m not sure if this is a good thing or not, but there’s no stopping existing projects from moving forward at this point. Driving the highway last night I saw a small 2 car accident.

His reasoning was there would be one car instead of 5-10 on the road that day – and they’d all have a great time being pampered a bit riding in a shiny black limo.

innovation and creativityThis series of articles is devoted to the thriving innovative minds that bring solutions to what may seem like insurmountable issues. With every generation young inventors are bringing fresh perspectives to solving old problems.

After learning about the 11 year old, Nikita Rafikov of Evans, Georgia, who developed a way to light homes without using electricity I knew the world was in good hands. This young man will be riding in limousines to college while the rest of the world is benefiting from his application of bioluminescence in window panes.

Secretly, you hoped that all the neighbors were peering out their windows when the shiny black, chauffeured town car pulled up to the curb. You know the work you’ve done to see this project to completion will benefit thousands of people for years to come. Continue reading The Innovations Keep Coming
