Innovations like AI, are making driving safer.

"PlatoNeRF, created by MIT and Meta, employs multibounce lidar and machine learning to enable autonomous vehicles to detect hidden obstacles. This innovative technique, which also assists in AR/VR and robotics, uses shadows to generate precise 3D reconstructions of environments. (ScitechDaily, Seeing the Invisible: Innovative Tech Lets Cars Peek Around Corners)

Innovative AI-based machine learning, along with radar and lidar technology revolutionize driving. New cars will remember their routes and the individual things, that they should notice in every route. The system can also transfer things that it learned to other similar environments.

How to see behind corners? That is one of the vital questions in traffic. The air-unit, quadcopter that communicates with the car's central computers can solve that problem. That thing can observe what happens around the car. The same technology can be used in civil and military systems. The quadcopters that hover above tanks and infantry can deliver data about hiding enemy troops. And the same technology can inform about danger in everyday traffic.

The quadcopter that hovers above the vehicle can make it possible for the AI, that drive a vehicle into the parking lot. The AI sees a vehicle from above, and that helps it to make the right driving movements. The rangefinders in the vehicle's corners can make the system easier to estimate distance and avoid knocks.

The system can also have a lidar or radar-camera system that can make it possible to estimate the snow's depth and an AI-based system that recognizes things like bottles, nails, and other things on the vehicle's route. The AI-based autopilot requires that system, or it will drive on the nail or bottle. And that makes holes in tires.

The problem with car driving is always the same without depending on whether the driver is human or machine. Things like street corners and car dimensions are problematic things for both, computers and humans. A small quadcopter on the roof would help the driver or AI see the car from above, and that helps the driver or AI to see where the car goes. If there is a small box for a quadcopter, that thing helps to park in the parking lot.

That quadcopter could fly ahead of the vehicle. Telling if there is something behind the corner. The computer-controlled fully automatic system can operate independently. The system can have 2-4 small quadcopters. Some of them are loading their batteries when one of them operates. The problem is, of course, that flying those quadcopters is difficult in storms.

Another way to make that thing is to use a telescopic arm with the camera. The car's computer can also communicate with traffic control and the driver sees, where is rush. If those cameras are at every crossroad, they can tell if something is coming behind the corner.

And that will increase the use of autopilots for parking. Or if the human wants to drive, the system can show where the car is going on the HUD screen. There is also the possibility that at the corners of the vehicle are rangefinders, that tell where the car is going.

Use virtual "perpetual motion machines" and seawater as energy sources.

Use virtual "perpetual motion machines" and seawater as energy sources. The Archimedean screw can offer almost endless energy sources. "Robert Fludd's 1618 "water screw" perpetual motion machine from a 1660 wood engraving. It is widely credited as the first attempt to describe such a device." (Wikipedia/Perpetual motion) The term "virtual perpetual motion machine" means a machine. That pulls water to the upper tank using a capillary tube. Then that water will fall through the generator or turbine wheel. The machine uses differences in pressure levels. But it looks like a "perpetual motion machine", that is impossible because of laws of thermodynamics. The machine uses differences in pressure levels. But it looks like a " real perpetual motion machine", which is impossible because of the laws of thermodynamics. The real perpetual motion machines don't use outside energy. And that's why they are not possible....

Will humans survive the sun's red giant stage?

"As the Sun matures into a Red Giant, the oceans will boil and Earth will become uninhabitable." (The Conversation, The sun won’t die for 5 billion years, so why do humans have only 1 billion years left on Earth?) Sooner or later, all stars use their hydrogen. And then they turn into red giants. Sun is a yellow G spectral class star that turns into a white dwarf. But before that, the sun will turn larger. The sun turns red and that means. It starts to send more infrared radiation. This thing will turn Earth into a hellish temperature that vaporizes water from Earth. It's possible. That Earth will also vaporize with Venus and Mercury. Some scientists say that we have only 1 billion years to move farther in the solar system. The habitable zone will go to the distance of Jupiter and Saturn, and maybe humans find a safe place in those distant moons. It's possible that before Sun will grow too large humans make large groups of mirror satellites or large shields that sho...

Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field.

"Researchers have created a novel metamaterial that can dynamically tune its shape and properties in real-time, offering unprecedented adaptability for applications in robotics and smart materials. This development bridges the gap between current materials and the adaptability seen in nature, paving the way for the future of adaptive technologies. Credit: UNIST" (ScitechDaily, Metamaterial Magic: Scientists Develop New Material That Can Dynamically Tune Its Shape and Mechanical Properties in Real-Time) Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field. An electro-optical activator can also be an IR state, which means. The metamorphosis in the material can thermally activate. AI is the ultimate tool for metamaterial research. Metamaterials are nanotechnical- or quantum technical tools that can change their properties, like reflection or state from solid to liquid when the electric or optical effect hits that material. The metamaterial can cru...
