14. Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, Department of Mechanical Engineering Robotics Laboratory IBM Reveals Five Innovations that Will Change Our Lives Over the Next Five Years The way you drive will be completely different: In the next five years, a coming wave of connectivity between cars and the road is going to change the way you drive, help keep you safe, and even keep you out of traffic jams. Technology is poised to keep traffic moving, cut pollution, curb accidents, and make it easier for you to get from point A to B, without the stress. The cities you live in will find a cure for congestion using intelligent traffic systems that can make real-time adjustments to traffic lights and divert traffic to alternate routes with ease.

15. Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, Department of Mechanical Engineering Robotics Laboratory IBM Reveals Five Innovations that Will Change Our Lives Over the Next Five Years Your car will have driver-assist technologies that will make it possible for automobiles to communicate with each other and with sensors along the road -- allowing them to behave as if they have 'reflexes' so they can take preventive actions under dangerous conditions. Your car will automatically tell you where traffic is jammed up and find you an alternative route to take. http://www-03.ibm.com/press/us/en/pressrelease/22683.wss
