[QUOTE="alister, post: 1621224, member: 7735"] I am pretty sure you are being sarcastic about this but, there might be a handful of people trying to get a hover board working and its doubtful they will ever succeed. I would be surprised if there are more than 30 working on a flying car. Both of these deserve to stay in fantasy. The driverless car has thousands if not tens of thousands working on them. Virtually every major car company is working on it. Major tech companies are working on it. Major universities are working on it. The US government is backing the efforts with money. They already have cars doing 90% of what is needed. This isn't going to happen, it already is. You may think automating a rig is more difficult than a car, it's not, it's just different. It may not affect your life. It may not affect your retirement. But it will if your just starting to work at a transportation company. It will totally change your kids/grandkids life. Your living in a fantasy if you think your kid will have this type of job when they retire and i would dare to say your failing them as a parent if you're not preparing them for this fact. Only a world war or total financial meltdown will stop it.[URL]http://www.wired.com/2015/04/delphi-autonomous-car-cross-country/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
