Hoverboards, augmented reality and adverts on the moon: Technology predictions for 2015

2014 has seen the advent of memory recording, smart contact lenses, cameras that can record the speed of light, and printable batteries.

But what does 2015 have in store? IBTimes UK takes a look at what we can expect to see in the upcoming year.

Driverless buses and lorries

Driverless cars have been talked about for a number of years and have been tested on roads around the world, but 2015 is set to see the types of autonomous vehicle expanded to buses and lorries.

Transport Minister Claire Perry says driverless buses will be able to provide “better and more frequent services” and transform rural public transport.

One of the UK’s major bus companies is said to be interesting in testing the driverless technology, though it remains to be seen who will be willing to board a bus without a driver.
