I am going to invent self-walking boots with built in GPS so you never get lost hiking in the woods. These boots are made for walking.

The built in GPS to guide you home from anywhere in the world
activates when you click your heels together three times. The left
shoe points in the desired direction, the right one shows how close you are
We're still working on a less nerdy looking design.

Not for my kids. I think they will make it through.
But for my gradkids. I agree.
This stuff is sooo fascinating, but what effect it will have on us as far as jobs and a distribution of wealth goes, worries me a lot.I'm not here anymore.

Forget Taxis trying to run you over. Skynet is officially here. The Air Force now has autonomous fighter planes.

Air Force tests air-to-ground strikes with an autonomous F-16 wingman
There's so much focus around autonomous cars these days it's easy to forget that the military's trying to plug artificial intelligence into fighting vehicles, too. And not just in computer mock-ups, like last June's exhibition wherein a flight AI beat a retired USAF Colonel in simulated dogfights. In a recent test, military contractors used an unmanned system autonomously flying an F-16 combat jet as a wingman to support a human pilot in a separate aircraft. The system successfully met its goals to adapt, plan and execute maneuvers all on its own.

Here is a new twist.
Want an uber but are too snobby to get into someone else's car?
Lincoln Chauffeur will let you call someone to drive you around in your own car.
Lincoln Chauffeur provides drivers on demand, while you supply the car
Lincoln is testing a new service for owners of its vehicles that supply a driver on demand. The service is like a very upscale Uber, in which you supply the car, and Lincoln supplies a professional driver – one who is actually a Lincoln employee, not a spot contractor – to ferry you around, return your car to your home, and basically make you feel like a VIP.
The service will launch first in Miami, reports Autoblog, and will let Lincoln owners order up a chauffeur via a smartphone app. The chauffeur will not only be able to drive you around, but will also return your car to your home in case others in the household need to use it, will fill it up if so required, and can even run light errands like picking up some groceries.
Costs, as you might expect, are not cheap: During the pilot program, Lincoln Chauffeur will run around $30 per hour, which is actually not terrible compared to Uber until you remember you have to supply the car as well. On the plus side for Lincoln owners, they’ll get eight hours free of Chauffeur service included in the purchase price.
