Other than AI ideally. I've long been fascinated by CRISPR.

Wanna hear about niche tech or anything y'all find fascinating

Aptera. A solar panel on the roof of an electric vehicle. They’re slashing the power needed per mile in half because of weight loss and aerodynamics. That helps increase the range, especially for highway driving 400-1000 claimed miles on a charge depending on the model (40, 60 or 100kwh). It would be nice if they integrated v2x technology so you could use it as a generator.

I’ve been burned before by these too good to be true projects that never see the light of day, so I’ll believe it when I start seeing them on the road.
