What does a mailman, newspaper deliverers, water deliverer, etc. have in common? They all get in and out of their trucks to deliver their products door to door. What if they could deliver to one house, walk to the next house, and say "come here" and the car moves to their location? It would create great efficiencies. That is what VW did. It reinvented the delivery vehicle with semi-autonomous capabilities.
It is a breath of fresh air to see an organization that applies an emerging technology in a practical fashion. VW should have their concept car available to market by second half of this decade.

No keyboard. No Mice. No Touchscreen. Just THINK IT.
Image the ability to control computers and other technology just by thinking. "Researchers are working with the brain's alpha waves -- neural oscillations in the frequency range of 8 and 12 Hz -- to create rich syntactic representations that can be used to communicate directly with computers". Preliminary tests prove that it works.
Well, now image what that would do for pilots; never needing to touch anything. A bus driver that can look, think, and drive without touching anything. Now reactions will not be limited to physical limitations but mental limitations. When commercial use of this technology hits the market we will be the fasting moving (thinking) society throughout time. This disruptive technology will change everything.
Do you want to be around for this? I think so.

A drug that stops the aging process
No makeup, creams, or herbal voodoo - taking a drug that actually stops aging has been tested on mice and is on its way to humankind. Imagine, stopping cataract development, loss of muscle, smooth skin, and the ability to exercise like you were 20 or 30.
Mayo Clinic researchers have found the gene that creates senescent cells that cause the aging process to grow in our cells. They have tested a number of drugs on mice that eliminate senescent cells. The mice do not age. The trick of the drug is to take it before it negatively impacts you - it is not a reversing drug. In other words, if you have cataracts it will not take it away. It is a preventative drug.
