Hand-axes and wooden spears with sharp obsidian spearheads.

whatever it is, it will be behind a paywall.

Paywalled parks and libraries.

Actual autonomous vehicles. It certainly won't be Tesla, and it won't have a steering wheel.

I think road signs will have embedded codes for self driving cars. Whether it's a local broadcast signal, a QR code, or just extra blocky letters for the computer to read easier, road signage and signals will be directed to the computer in the car, not to inform the human in the car.

One of the most amazing things about this would be to remove signs altogether. Just embed the sensor in the pavement and give the space the signs took up back to people, nature, or literally anything else.

Huge overhead highway gantries and traffic lights would be wonderful to remove, too. City sidewalks are narrow enough as is and they would be way better without 20+ft tall metal poles jutting out of the ground. Hopefully we can put trees in their place, but maybe I'm dreaming.

It will be too expensive for me but, actually usable convincing VR

How could that be considerably better than what we have now? It seems to be solved now with stans alone consumer headsets. Or do you anticipate a brain interface in consumer products in the next 10 years?

There's plenty of room for improvement. I'm hoping we'll see more stuff like the bigscreen beyond. The main reason I haven't used my headset in like a year or 2 is just the annoyance of using it. Setting it up, cleaning it and my self, the weight because no-one wants to make a proper PC headset.

[–] Tracked@sopuli.xyz -1 points 3 weeks ago

That too, why can't be just a bunch of thick glasses with a strap.

[–] Tracked@sopuli.xyz -1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

For me that shit doesn't seem convincing, very usable or handy yet

[–] Nibodhika@lemmy.world 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Have you used one though? I remember thinking the same until I used one.

[–] Tracked@sopuli.xyz -1 points 3 weeks ago

Haven't, I've seen the best of it in demo. Still looks fake idc if the frame rate is high

[–] WldFyre@lemm.ee -2 points 3 weeks ago

Glad you could take a break from posting anti-Dem stuff to fantasize about what cool gadgets you could buy in 10 yrs with your 6fig salary. Clearly you have a lot personally invested in the election and aren't just positions and sacrificing more vulnerable populations with your adolescent "don't vote" rhetoric lol

I think we're past due for a major technological breakthrough in energy storage that 1) increases energy density, 2) decreases max charge/discharge time, and 3) is more sustainable than, say Lithium.

With how much R&D seems to be pouring into this right now, I have at least hope.
