    The Pseudo-Science of Alchemy

Every technology must be invented before people can use it, even the logical study of natural phenomena. Until science came along people used very different processes to understand and predict the world around them.

    Future car technologies – Advanced control

    This is the final part of the Future Car Technologies series of articles. In order to make highways safer, it has been proposed that future cars should be grouped into platoons of eight to twenty-five cars and drive as one following each other at a distance of about a meter. They would all be controlled by an artificial intelligence or a lead driver (which ideally would be the most experienced of the whole group). Such a grouping would greatly increasing the capacity of roads. Brief assessment of the technology Such a technology might require buying new cars, or it may be something that can be retrofitted. Drivers would probably need…
