Getting around in the future
The different means of transport we use in our day-to-day lives 1) have come a long way. Just think, a little over 100 years ago many forms of private transport — the motorbike, the car, the bicycle — would have been inconceivable. But today most households have at 2) least one car and many have a motorbike or a bicycle. But what’s in store for us in the future? What will we be driving or riding 50 years from now? We asked Nick Hunter, a futurist, whose job is to predict future technological innovations, to tell us his views.
‘If we take into consideration the problem with fossil fuels, the next big change is going to be the use of more environmentally friendly cars. In fact, within the next 20 years, most 3) people will have replaced the petrol powered cars we’re driving today with a car that 4) will run on alternative energy sources such as electricity or even solar power.
Another type of car we might be driving very soon is a smart car. When our streets 5) are automated, which I’m sure they will be soon, drivers with smart’ cars will be able to relax while their cars detect magnets placed along specialized highways. The cars will run automatically as the highway computer system 6) calculates the flow of traffic, resulting in steady, safe transportation.
Looking 7) further into the future, it’s hard to know for sure. We could very well be driving cars that can also fly in 100 years’ time or perhaps riding hover bikes with jet engines and propellant tanks in place of wheels!
