Question

Describe a future innovation that you envision may occur during your Mechanical Engineering career (next 40 years), and what your engineering role would be in its development and/or production?

Answer 1

A future innovation that I envision and may ocuur during next 49 years will be the autonomous and flying cars.

As we see that many new technology has been grown and we can automatically control almost all the things. Robots are the beat example for this. Robots help in many works like making tea, little bit talking when we feel boring, etc. So, there will be autonomous technology for cars too so that without the help of driver, we can drive the car very efficiently and it will be less dangerous as compared to human driving cars. As road accidents willbe less due to automated controlling system. We need some control systems which are developing as well. There should be controlling system like which can recognize the crowd, can recognize the traffics, noise, etc. It should be eco friendly as well. It should adjust itself in such a way that causes no harm to other cars. In this way, we can have autonomous cars in future generation.

My engineering role will be on research and development field in this project as I want to learn more and more about the sensors and controllers.
