For example, a cheap, highly effective, timely--and adaptive--approach to malaria (and other mosquito-borne diseases) is available.
The so-called autonomous adaptive structures are part of a long-term research into shape-memory healing which could impact long-term developments of implantable medical devices, for instance.

We have designed it to also deliver stunning voice quality with smartphone and Skype hands-free calls through adaptive communication technologies that can cancel ambient noise and focusing the microphone-array for accurate voice pick-up.

Adaptive AIOs are high-performance computers with large touch-enabled screens that can be used as a multi-user touch gaming system, or as an interactive art creation device, as well as for many other shared, in-person experiences.
Ford's outfitted the Fusion Energi with a dizzying array of driver-assist tech, including a lane-keeping system, adaptive cruise control, driver alert system, active park assist, rear camera, blind-spot indicator system with cross-traffic alert and pull-drift compensation (phew).

Its adaptive air suspension, full-time all-wheel drive, locking differentials and extra-low range all combine to make the Range Rover capable of going just about anywhere you'd think to try and drive, and to conquer some slopes you couldn't ascend without a climbing rope.
Such systems include all phases of the Phased Adaptive Approach to missile defenses in Europe, the modernization of the Ground-based Midcourse Defense system, and the continued development of the two-stage Ground-Based Interceptor as a technological and strategic hedge.
They call it adaptive manufacturing - think of Baxter as a ready-to-wear robot for any manufacturing environment.

High-tech options include adaptive cruise control, rear parking assist with cross-path detection and a lane departure system that not only alerts you if the vehicle drifts out of the lane, but gently guides you back between the lane markers.

Folks should learn a bit about modern org leadership, including basic concepts like slack, 20% free time, systems engineering, complex adaptive systems, self-organizing systems, emergence, Lean-Agile, Kanban, Scrum, Lean Startup, Radical Management, etc.
As adaptive cruise controls, self-parking options and automated-braking systems gradually become more capable and widespread, it is not a big leap to full autonomous control.
The adaptive dampers' response ranges from flinty to flintier, and stiffer springs, lightweight aluminum knuckles, and revised rear-end geometry give the XKR-S a bright, concussive ride that would pound commuters to dust.

Autonomous driving in slow traffic is a logical combination of adaptive cruise-control and the lane-keeping systems, already available in some vehicles, which either warn the driver if the car starts to drift out of lane, or apply corrective steering to keep it in lane.
