I always knew that some of our new technology was inspired by Sci-fi books and shows. Here are some technology inspired by Star Trek that is part of our lives now or will soon be. In the past few months a number of technologies and products that invoke the Star Trek name have been rolled out.

Are You Ready For Cars Driving Themselves?
Cars that drive and even park themselves could be ready for the road within a decade, GM executives say. But such cars would also have to navigate such obstacles as government regulations, liability laws, and the desire of drivers to keep control.

Snow eating Robot and other new technology on MobuzzTV
Mexican BandAid Surveillance at the Korea Expo
This video is about: Tiny cameras will monitor your in-flight behavior, Viacom to provide video for bloggers, Mexican drug gangs big fans of YouTube, Crazy cool nanotech bandaids, Yuki Taro eats snow and poops ice, a visit to the Korea Expo in Madrid
This is actually interesting to watch. I found this video looking for information on the Yuki-taro autonomous snowplough robot. Research and Development information about the Yuki-taro autonomous snowplough robot can be found HERE. I think that this snow removal robot is a great idea. It takes snow of the ground, and turns it into blocks of snow/ice that can be easily stacked and then removed. Every year people die as a result of shovelling snow. This looks like this snowplough robot could be a big help not just for individuals, but that a city could make great use of them. The labour cost and fuel cost goes up every year. Using these autonomous snowplough robots would be a great way to clear the sidewalks, driveways and parking lots. A larger version could help with side roads, but I think that main roads and highways will still need the big snowploughs for a long time to come.
I wonder how well it works on snow/ice. I always find patches of ice from where we walked and compressed the snow. It would be interesting to know if it can deal with that or just fresh snow. Will it have some way to deal with ice from melting snow? We sometimes have a snow/rain mix in the same day and this will form snow with a hard ice shell or a mix of heavy wet snow, and sometimes layers of snow with ice. I guess we will have to wait until the snowplough is available for the general market to see what it can actually deal with.

Psycho-Delic Milk
This is just fun to look at. Someone had way to much time on their hands. My son makes something like this at preschool. They call in magic milk. The kids have milk on a tray and add food coloring and some dish soap. The dish soap makes the milk swirl and the food coloring moves around and mixes. The kids love it.

Amazing 3D Chalk Drawings by Julian Beever
These are just amazing. Waterfalls, cola bottles, swimming women and more. This guy is so good at his art! I have seen some of Julian Beever Chalk Drawings before, but never in a slide show. This guys work is outstanding. I don’t know how he can put all that work into art that will wash away in the first rain, or get destroyed as people walk on it. I am glad that there are a lot of pictures of his work so more people can enjoy it.
Another person had posted this video on Digg, I thought the work was wonderful. However as this person did blog on it first if you like this video use the digg button below so they get the digg. Thank you.

The Greening of CES
In the past, there wasn't much green awareness at the world's largest gadget fest. Not anymore. This year, expect to see plenty of HDTVs equipped with efficient light-emitting diodes as their primary light source, more products powered by solar panels and even hand cranks.
