That was very cool. A great watch.

Stupidly cheesy at times though! :D And theres alot of stuff there that I very much doubt will be around in 50 years. For example the automatic cars.

I agree on the cars, I think it will be possible and you will have taxis maybe but peopoe like to drive so they will but I can see at some point the freeway/motaway will be get on and auto drive it.

I suspect the first ones will be here in twenty. There is a lot of safety concerns to be sorted first before it goes mainstream but it should be here within the time limit. There may be a motorway only transition period but its coming.

A matrix style machine may be easier to produce, and would give severely disabled people an even chance of kicking your butt. England 0 : Muscular dystrophy united 100 :P :lol:

I dont think therell ever be automatic cars. I dont think theyd deal with things such as Scottish Terrier dodging or horse poo avoidance.
