'Space solar power' is a concept conjured by science-fiction writer Isaac Asimov in 1941 - but researchers in California have now shown it's possible. The researchers beamed solar power to Earth from a spacecraft called MAPLE, which was launched to orbit in January.

They predict we won't approach cars armed with keys and rely on the satnav - cars will come to us, plugged into our daily routines and ready to entertain us. Humanoid AI avatars will know what we want in advance and steer us to our destinations in cars powered by electricity or hydrogen. Technologies such as 'full' autonomous driving - a car that is aware and capable of making its own choices -and flying vehicles will reshape the cities around us.
