-Private space plane passes 2nd flight test.
A private space plane took to the skies for the second time ever last Thursday. It passed a critical "captive carry" test that will help pave way for the new vehicle's fee flying debut this fall. The Dream Chaser space plane is a plane that they hope can one day fly astronauts from Earth to the International Space Station. The Sierra Nevada Corporation is developing this space craft that they hope can one day make space traveling easier. This space craft is still in the development stage and testing will continue.

-Autonomous vehicles will surpass 95 million by 2035, forecasts Navigant Research.

Fully autonomous cars will begin to appear on the market in the next 5 years, and the predicted growth is reportedly supposed to succeed 95 million in a little over 20 years. As shown above, this graph shows the projected sales of cars per regions in the world. David Alexander, senior research analyst at Navigant Research states, "Fully autonomous vehicles are unlikely to reach the market suddenly. Instead, progressively more capable systems that can assume control of certain aspects of driving will be introduced gradually. The first features will most likely be self-parking, traffic jam assistance, and freeway cruising -- well-defined situations that lend themselves to control by upgraded versions of today's on-board systems."
