We’ve seen it before in sci-fi films, but today, technologic developments are driving autonomous vehicles out of our imaginations and onto our roads. Within the next six years, the world is projected to bear witness to a myriad of experiments and opportunities related to self-driving cars. By the year 2030, autonomous cars could represent about 25 percent of all passenger vehicles in mature markets.

A $10 million underwater discovery is believed to be the S.S. Connaught. After springing a leak in a storm, the cruise liner ultimately set fire and sank. Fortunately, the nearly 600 passengers and crew aboard were rescued thanks to a closely sailing merchant ship. All of the lives were saved, but the 10,000 pounds of gold coins aboard were lost to the Atlantic. Queue Endurance Exploration Group.

Will a 4-foot-tall robot named VGo be your next teammate? Researchers, scientists and athletes alike hope to increase efficiency in concussion diagnostics on the football field. Dartmouth-Hitchcock’s Center for Telehealth is trying to combat this problem by bringing robots to the sidelines.

For years, people searching for the proper organ donor have waited and hoped that the right match will come along sooner rather than later. Unfortunately, hundreds of people die each year waiting for an organ that never comes. But now, the future of tissue-engineering is looking bright. With 3D printing technologies evolving faster than anyone could have imagined, there may be an alternative solution to playing the waiting game.
