Today, more and more engineers present their ultramodern developments to the public. We can observe a huge number of them at high-tech exhibitions and other events of this kind. The vehicles of the Future itself often seem too elaborate, and it’s hard to imagine them on our roads, among other cars.
Moreover, their manufacturability and practicality are in doubt both among experts and ordinary people. But who knows what will happen in 20 years, for example? Perhaps these "super machines" will occupy their niche in our daily lives. We bring to your attention the top 10 vehicles of the future and pictures illustrating how public and private transport will look like.
10. Capsule machines
One of the most interesting developments is capsule machines. According to the promises of engineers, such machines will be controlled by a computer that will synchronize the data of other taxis in order to avoid collisions. In fact, this is another “drone”. The speed of the capsule will not exceed 50 km / h, and the fare on it will be the same as in any other public transport.
9. Uno Electric Motorcycle
The first thought that occurs to a person who sees this motorcycle for the first time: “How can he not fall ?!” And the truth is amazing. This motorcycle runs on electricity, but its main feature is a single wheel. The secret is that two gyroscopes are built into Uno right away, which helps the driver to maintain balance. An interesting fact: the engineer of this car is a native of Ukraine Benjamin Gulak.
8. XR3
Engineers call the XR3 the "hybrid car" of the future. And for good reason. This car can run on any fuel, but even without it it can easily do and drive as many as 60 kilometers using an electric power plant.
7. Trains on a magnetic pad
As conceived by the developers, this ground transport will develop a speed almost identical to the speed of the aircraft - almost 600 km / h! What allows this miracle development to develop such a speed? The secret is that in the gap between the rails and the machine itself, a strong magnetic field is formed. These trains can hardly be called ground transportation, because in fact they will “hover” above the rails.
6. "Communicating" cars
At the moment, there are already many cars that have their own Internet connection. The purpose of this development is not the ability to watch movies and listen to music on the road, but directly “communication” between traffic participants. Car-to-Car Communication technology allows you to prevent emergency situations on the road, allowing drivers to warn each other about accidents before they appear in sight.
5. A-2 supersonic passenger aircraft
Perhaps the most serious global problem in the world of the future is ecology. That is why the developers of this transport project in the first place paid attention to the environmental friendliness of the aircraft. Unlike other aircraft of this kind, the fuel for this is hydrogen. Accordingly, its emissions will be in the form of water vapor, and not exhaust gases. The speed of such an aircraft will reach 5 Max.
4. EN-V (Electric Networked-Vehicle - "Network Electric Vehicle")
EN-V is a two-seater car of the future, designed primarily to solve the problems of traffic jams and parking lots. Environmental issues of the city do not stand aside, in connection with which the engineers tried to design the EN-V in such a way that it did not have to use oil products in its work. The source of energy will be a lithium-ion battery.
3. P.I.E.T. - electric "tricycle" of the future
This is one of the many clean transport projects. It is a cross between a car and a motorcycle, and harmoniously combines their advantages. The tricycle engine is built into the wheels, while the energy comes from the battery located under the seat.
2. 3D system
Back in 2015, a gesture control system was introduced to the general public at the Consumer Electronic Show in Las Vegas. Instead of numerous buttons and a touchscreen, drivers will have the opportunity to adjust each function of their car with a simple movement of the hand. For example, you can open and close windows by moving your hand up or down, and also answer an incoming call by simply pointing your finger towards the display.
1. Honda U3-X
Another self-balancing unicycle, somewhat similar to Uno, which was written about earlier. For example, both have only one wheel. But the "highlight" of the U3-X is that it does not even remotely resemble a vehicle. Nevertheless, it is an ultra-technological and compact personal vehicle. It weighs only 10 kilograms. Its speed is 6 km / h. The unicycle is able to move in all directions: back and forth, up and down and diagonally. The thing is that in fact this large main wheel consists of many small wheels located transversely inside it.
Why, then, all these numerous developments in the field of high technologies have not found their application in the present, and whether they will find it in the future. It would seem that unmanned control, gesture control, environmentally friendly waste - everything is so cool, useful, practical. But the answer to the question of why these super machines cannot be put into mass production may not be so rosy. Indeed, admiring these innovations, their external, technical characteristics, we do not think about human safety at all. And this is the most important thing.
