I'm curious to see people's lists of possible "up and coming" or "near future" additions to this list. Off the top of my head:
- Self driving cars, probably attributed to Sebastian Thrun. ~1.4 million people die in automobile accidents each year.
- Malaria vaccines, perhaps attributed to Bill Gates, although I'd rather know the actual key scientists involved. 600k deaths/year.
- ... Maybe something about solar power, assuming it eventually grows to replace most hydrocarbons for power generation.
- ... Maybe the developers of CRISPR, if the modern genomics bubble leads to widespread medical advances.
