“Hey! There’s no one driving that car!”

Now, Google is expanding beyond the Golden State. They have begun testing its self-driving technology in Austin, TX, too. According to KXAN, Texas is the fifth state to legalize driverless cars, following in the footsteps of California, Florida, Michigan, and Nevada.

When you see this Lexus SUV cruising around you’ll know not to bother looking for a driver behind the wheel.

The cars have performed remarkably well so far. They have only been involved in 14 minor collisions — all of which were the other driver’s fault.

Minus one small glitch with a fixed-gear cyclist attempting a track stand, the cars are also attuned to respond to deer, even at night.

The reality of the flawed human driver is still very clear: humans text and drive, humans zone out and become distracted, humans miss their blind spot and cyclists.

Google’s new self-driving cars could not only help those who have lost the ability to drive regain their independence, but it could also save lives some of the more than 30,000 lives lost in traffic crashes in the U.S. each year.

3D Bioprinting

Organovo has been in the focus because of 3D printing biomaterials for years. They announced successfully bioprinted liver tissues in 2014 and they seemed to be 4-6 years away from printing liver parts for transplantation. But first, these bioprinted livers could be finally used in the pharmaceutical industry to replace animal models when analyzing the toxicity of new drugs. If it goes through in 2016, I feel printing actual liver tissue for transplantation could become a commercial service within the next decade.

Concepts of future phones

Every year, there are several phone concepts that make us admire them and dream,so that hold such a technique in the hands of. Of course, this is not always possible, because many concepts are so bold that they can not be launched into mass production in the next few years. For example:
Alienware Android Phone Perfect smartphone for gamers. Despite its interesting appearance and impressive characteristics, it is unlikely that it will someday be put into production.

Through the glass
There was a large number of new products associated with the use of glass – a completely transparent screen or keyboard is completely transparent, or generally completely transparent phone. Naturally, the glass is not chosen as usual,special glass are used to create new devices. It is not yet clear if this will be convenient, but it is a dream that can become a reality.  

Taking care of the environment

The traditional method of charging the battery, as is known, requires a considerable amount of energy. For those who care about saving the resources of our planet, there is an option – the device of a solar battery or … muscle strength! That is, the device can be charged mechanically, for example, by rotating the finger. Or the phone is able to use solar energy for work. You can forget about the discharged battery.

Despite all the difficulties, certain parts of the concepts are still used in the most modern models. So, back in 2005, the touchscreens seemed fantastic, and now they are applied everywhere. Such a rapid development of technology makes us think about what awaits us in the near future.

And what kind of phone do you dream of? What should he look like?

Apple iPhone 8 Specifications

Apple is planning to bring something Unique and Efficient like never before. As per rumors, the brand is working on 10 Different Prototypes. It is very early to clearly suggest what we’re going to experience next year! But before the release of iPhone 8, Apple is preparing to launch iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s+. So there is a plenty of time left for iPhone 8.  Apple has been always known for the quality of the hardware they provide in iPhone’s. I don’t think so any other companies can compete in terms of hardware provided in the iPhone 8.  Moving forward these are the specs which are expected to be featured in Apple iPhone 8. Rumors suggest that brand may come up with the Radical Re-Design in the shape of edge to edge display. It means, there will be No Bezels; not even on top or bottom. The display will be Home to Touch ID Fingerprint Sensor and a Selfie Shooter. If we are talking about revolution, the Apple may get rid of a home button. This will be possible with embedding camera and touch ID system directly into the display screen. Jony Ive always has been passionate about making iPhone that will consist of a single glass sheet. Moreover, for the wireless charging system, glass is essential! But for now we may only see a hint of glass in the body and the base will most probably be metallic. The idea of the Edge to Edge Display looks valid. But we are not confirmed if the display size will surpass traditional range or the size of iPhone will be reduced to go with the screen. Most likely, we will see iPhone 8 with a 5.5 inch or a slightly larger display screen. Apple will use latest flexible OLED technology instead of LCD, that is necessary for enhanced contrast ratio and vibrant colors.
