You may have watched GI Joe (2009) movie where soldiers with exoskeleton suit jumping around cars in downtown and chasing villain cars. The suit gives a lot of super abilities such as super-jumps, amazing force power to lift very heavy car, protection from injury etc. Others movie that introduced this technology: The Avengers, Edge of Tomorrow, Iron Man, and Elysium

In reality, this technology may not be sophisticated as in the movies, but it is possible for it to surpass the abilities that have been described in the movie. Recently, US military is developing suits similar with ironman suit in Tactical Assault Light Operator Suit (TALOS) program. This suit would allow a soldier to lift 17 times a weight than normal human and walking normally without much strain, according to the source, Business Insider. For instance, a soldier may lift up a mini car alone without adversity. This hi-tech suit perhaps could reduce injuries a soldier may suffer during a war, or even decrease the number of casualty. It may also give benefits to a normal man to do daily jobs in factory or heavy-duty works such as lifting a huge heavy box easily.

It may be a bit exaggerated if a person such as professor X (in X-Men movies) can read mind, even can control other human mind to do whatever he wants. However, in reality such a mind control technology like that could be developed to get control over mechanics or devices. We, in the future, may command some mechanics or devices that connected to our brain to follow ours.

Research of US scientist says these such commands can be relayed by designing machines that can read brain signals called EEG system (electroencephalogram systems). Some researchers in other universities even has used this EEG systems to command a flying drone.

So, you can move mechanics when you imagine the movements, the scientist says. It gives hope to patients with physical disability to interact with world by applying robot technology controlled only by human mind.
You can see this technology in several science fiction movies such as Pacific Rim, Inception, Matrix, Total Recall, and X-men

When Nick Fury was chased by loyalist Hydra, it was appeared that Fury’s car can drive automatically following Fury’s command. That car was so genius so it can help Fury to calculate an escape route. That was one of the fantastic scenes in Captain America: the winter soldier.


You may think it will be so nice if we have driverless car like Fury’s car. Now, it is not just a dream. A giant internet service, Google, in the mid of this year has announced futuristic driverless car with two seats, without pedal and without steering. Google’s car can drive with maximum 40 kph and can reach 160 km before charging. It is also well equipped with sensor, radar and camera to detect objects around the car. Google car is also supported with Google’s extended map service and GPS tech.

Despite the excellent technology, Google’s car needs more effort to be on the real street. This car can’t distinguish between an empty paper bag or rock that it must not drive over. Or, it can’t detect uncovered manholes. It may be hindered by snow or heavy rain, and camera’s car still confuse to know the differences between a traffic light and strong sunlight.
Before Google’s car, a worldwide automotive manufacture from Japan, Toyota, unveiled a driverless car under the brand Lexus last year.
Well, it is to be hoped that driverless car could reduce a number of accidents due to careless drivers. Meanwhile, you can watch this technology in action at some great movies such as Minority Report and Captain America (the winter soldier).

It was a very amazing background scene in Total Recall movie (2012) when Collin Farrel was fighting in futuristic city, jumping from skyscraper building with skybridge inter-building to the flying car.
This futuristic scene perhaps can be seen in our life in the near future. In 1940, the founder of Ford motor, Henry Ford said: “Mark my word: A combination of airplane and motorcar is coming. You may smile, but it will come.”
A company in Massachusetts, Terrafugia is conducting research to develop a flying car called TF-X, a combination between driverless car, helicopter and plane. What you need is just mentioning your destination and the TF-X will take you to that spot.

As Mashable reported, twin 600 HP electric motor pods will take the vehicle off vertically and the motor pod will be folded forward. While flying, 300 hp engine takes over the propellers. The engine could bring the vehicle moving forward with speed up to 200 Mph in radius 500 miles. When arriving to the spot, it will land safely and transform into a normal car. TF-X is claimed as a safe and very convenient vehicle. It can carry up to four people and it does not even need a run away to fly.

Although it is still a concept, it is predicted that TF-X will be finished by early 2020s. This technology may help us reducing the duration of travelling in particular distance and limited terrain.
You will find out this similar technology in some science fiction movies as follows: Total Recall, Fifth Elements, Back to the Future, Bladerunner.
Technology is growing rapidly to bring better life for us. It was probably only at some crazy scientists’ or movie directors’ imagination at first, however no one knows that those technologies could possibly come into reality.
