Google is a key player to be working on developing the technology that can bring Internet access to all such places that lack it. It involves the use of helium balloons at places where cell towers may not be installed. Thus, it can be a promising and cost-effective way to provide Web access from the sky. The technology can be a huge game changer for the educational, as well as the economic sector growth.
Self-driving technology
There is big hype around this technology now days, with many companies trying their hands on vehicles that may run autonomously. While there is good progress in artificial intelligence, imaging, sensors, positioning and communication tech, it is still a costly affair to bring this technology to life. It may take another 5 to 10 years for this technology to take some significant shape.
Nanomaterials
These tiny components are receiving a great demand in healthcare, IT, electronics, cosmetics and environmental safety sectors. Due to their structure and quantum effects, nanomaterials gain a special status in terms of their strength, reactivity, and optical, magnetic and electrical performance.
Car-to-Car Communication
Through this wireless technology, cars would be able to communicate with each other on roads so they can avoid crashes. General Motors has been working on improving this sensor-based technology so safe driving may be ensured by transmitting relevant data from one car to another. However, there is still a lot of work to be done before this technology can be considered reliable.
Technology has been emerging in various operational fields. Some of these leading emerging technologies are actually indicating toward a better future in varied industries and application fields.
