The Future This Week: Self-Improving Cars and Lab-Grown, 3D Printed Food

By B.J. Murphy

In The Future This Week, Serious Wonder gets spooky (at a distance, one could say) in search of this week’s headlines of the future, from 3D printed food to robotic cars seemingly self-improving themselves. Although a coincidence, this Halloween shares a special guest – a skull-shaped comet that’ll be zipping by Earth today – though will hardly stop us from dreaming about the future.

Asteroid impacts should be taken seriously, given their existential risk to life itself here on Earth, but it shouldn’t prevent us from envisioning a positive and optimistic future. Whether we’re 3D printing food, or growing synthetic meat in a lab, or creating self-improving A.I. systems, the future is looking more and more amazing as each week passes by. Never lose sight of the risks the future will bring us, but never let it stop you from progressing forward either. Welcome to the future!

3D Printed Food

During a consortium held in Brussels, Belgium, researchers throughout Europe gathered together to present their three-year-running work on the future of 3D printed food, which will be used to address medical conditions like dysphagia. SOURCE

Lab-Grown Meat

What started off at a price of $325,000 only two years ago, researchers have now revealed that lab-grown meat has significantly dropped down in price to merely $11.36. SOURCE

Self-Improving A.I.

In just a few weeks, thanks to Tesla Motors’ advanced learning AutoPilot upgrade to all Model S vehicles, drivers of the Model S throughout the nation have reported clear signs of the AutoPilot’s A.I. system rapidly self-improving itself. SOURCE

Skull Shaped Dead Comet

Though merely a coincidence that is both eerie and amazing altogether, NASA has revealed images of asteroid 2015 TB145, which will zip by Earth today on Halloween – and it looks like a skull! SOURCE
