What new technologies exist today that was not present when Cyberpunk was created?
So, what real world technologies exist or is upcoming that should be in cyberpunk 2077? Times have changed and some new technologies have come out that did not exist at the time of writing the cyberpunk books. Just wondered what should probably be in 2077. remember,, it should be way more advanced than what we have.
Also, this is not scifi, this is stuff that is already out or almost gauranteed to come very soon, not some far future.
Lets see,
Driverless cars are becoming a reality:

Actual Virtual Reality looks like it will actually becoming a real thing this year or next year thanks to oculus rift. Everybody in many industries are really excited about it. I actually have the DK1 dev kit and blown away by it. This is not to be confused with cyberspace/netrunner. Virtual Reality and augmented reality is probably what the average user will probably use, but the true hackers should still jack directly into cyberspace.

augmented reality

One of the biggest surprises is 3d printing

It can even print guns

Or even ORGANS! which is called bioprinting

Drones

Just a few off the top of my head.
