Technology companies are breaking boundaries as they are embarking on projects that will change the world. They are taking on world problems and are finding solutions to them. Leading tech companies like Google, Facebook, and Microsoft are pioneering these projects and they are sure to revolutionize the way people do things. Some of these projects are at the birthing stage while others are advanced.
Innovation village points out some of these amazing projects.
Self-driving cars
Self-driving cars are the future. By 2020, over 10 million anonymous cars should be on the road and unsurprisingly, Google is leading the way. Other car companies like Nissan, Volkswagen, and Toyota are also working on their self-driving cars. Apple is also reported to be working on its own anonymous car.

Space Travel
Space travel will soon be like driving between two stops. The only difference is that space travel requires planning and money. Test travels have already been carried out as tech companies look to commercialize it. By 2018, Virgin Galactic owned by Richard Branson is expected to start commercial space travel for 250,000 dollars. Interestingly, tickets for the trip has already being sold!
Internet Connectivity
Locations which are yet to have access to the internet will be connected to the World Wide Web in the near future if the plans by Google and Facebook come to fruition. Facebook’s project Aquila is building laser-equipped, and solar-powered drones that can fly over the remotest parts of the world to provide internet access while Google is already testing floating balloons that will ease access to the internet with its Project Loon.
