8 Ways AI Will Profoundly Change City Life by 2030

Self-driving vehicles will be widely adopted by 2020, and it won't just be cars -- driverless delivery trucks, autonomous delivery drones, and personal robots will also be commonplace. Low-cost 3D sensors like Microsoft's Kinect will speed the development of perceptual technology, while advances in speech comprehension will enhance robots' interactions with humans. Computer-based learning won't replace the classroom, but online tools will help students learn at their own pace using techniques that work for them. Online teaching will increasingly widen educational access, making learning lifelong, enabling people to retrain, and increasing access to top-quality education in developing countries.
