I could see the car technology being implemented in the next five years. Some of that stuff is already being used in newer cars (Bluetooth, Satnav), and the technology for the dimming sunroof is already being used in the form of dimmable rearview mirrors.
I agree with the auto technology. But all the other items, nah.
Crap most places can't afford to fix bloody potholes and install the old style traffic signs that have been around for a good 60 years. Let alone those electronic signs.
People need jobs to pay for all the other stuff and their taxable income would cover the the infrastructure. That's if the powers to be stop fund research on the love life of the frigging aardvark or some other stupid pet project. If the monies were used to help employ the masses, then we might actually have a chance at these types of dreams.
Well crap, that turn into a mini rant....oops...

.....I just don't care how animals, insects, birds or lizards breed. I'm more concerned with humans and being able to feed, cloth and educate them. I'm quite sure the little critters could careless how we breed....lmao
