The Future...

Post by PsychoSerenity » Thu Oct 02, 2014 4:40 pm

One of the things I'm looking forward to in the future, is the eradication of speed bumps, once we all have driverless vehicles. They have to be the most wasteful ways of slowing traffic that exists. The extra wear on the suspension, the endless breaking and accelerating again between them, of hundreds of cars per day over each one, - not to mention how uncomfortable they make bus ride.

Anyway that's just a bit of a rant about speed bumps, but what are you looking forward to in the future?

My hover-car will just glide over the speed bumps any way.

The future will be slightly thinner, marginally faster, shiny and expensive.

I don't think you need driverless vehicles, to eradicate speed bumps.
Just have an override on the vehicle engine chip, that restricts the speed when in a protected zone.
You could have an audible warning, ten seconds before it deploys.

And police could use it in car chases. It wouldn't take too much technology to put it in new cars.

I'm looking forward to a food processor that turns my shit back into chocolate.
It's the ultimate goal for humanity.
While there is a market for shit, there will be assholes to supply it.

An apocalypse of some kind that led to social collapse. Seriously, I'd love it.
