There will be conversion to all new cars and trucks being electric by 2030-2040. Almost all cars and trucks will be replaced with electric vehicles by about 2050. The miles driven will mostly be using electric vehicles by 2035. These will be electric robo-taxis.

The energy system will be mostly solar, wind, batteries and nuclear by 2060-2080.

Advanced modular nuclear fission and useful for propulsion nuclear fusion should be here by 2040.

I think a breakthrough with molecular nanotechnology is still likely within 20 years.

Multi-gigawatt laser arrays to propel spacecraft in the solar at high speeds will be implemented by 2050.

Once SpaceX has mass-produced rapidly reusable rockets, this will transform air cargo delivery on Earth and then human long-range air transport. This will also rapidly allow colonization and tourism of the Earth-cislunar area by 2035.
