Artificial Intelligence and life in 2030

And see also this great piece from Mashable on what manufacturers are up to next. In the near future, sensing algorithms will achieve super-human performance for capabilities required for driving. Automated perception, including vision, is already near or at human-performance level for well-defined tasks such as recognition and tracking. Advances in perception will be followed by algorithmic improvements in higher level reasoning capabilities such as planning. Beyond self-driving cars, we'll have a variety of autonomous vehicles including robots and drones.
