what about traffic in 30 years?






Potencial future car technologies include new energy sources and materials, which are being developed in order to make automobiles more sustainable, safer, more energy efficient, or less polluting. Cars are being developed in many different ways.






With raising gas prices, the future of cars is leaning towards fuel efficiency, energy savers, hybrid vehicles, battery electric vehicles and fuel cell vehicles.




CARS IN FUTURE (:



A driverless car is a vehicle equipped with an autopilot system, which is capable of driving from one point to another without input from a human operator. SOME ADVANTAGES:
* transporting loads in dangerous zones such battle fields or disaster zones.


* reducing the costs and inconvenience of employing drivers.


* managing traffic flow to increase road capacity.




Flying car is an aircraft that can also travel along roads. All the working examples have required some manual or automated process of conversion between the two modes of operation.

I think that in 30 years the cars will fly and also if we have anywater in the oceans the cars could be driven under the water.
In 30 years we will have cars in floor, sky and water. The population will grow and the traffic will be horrible beacuse everybody will have a car.

Is amazing that in future we will drive flying cars and modern cars that are less agressive with the enviroment, I cant wait to see all the new things of the future because at the end we could live as future movies
