We are constantly surrounded by images of what our future car could look like. It’s always a sleek, slim design that has the body covering the tires. How practical could these models really be?
Older cars from the ’70s were incredibly wide and took up a lot of space? Do you know why they changed the design? For better mobility, of course! Many ideas and concepts you see today are broad and flat. This might help with aerodynamics, but it would be incredibly difficult to move on a suburban street.
The cars of the future don’t look like family cars. There could be a time in the future when families would most likely use public transportation to get their children. The face of public transportation could also change as train and bus systems are already using modern technology to transport people.
Hover cars could also be on the cards for the future and this could be exciting for everyone. But it could come with its own challenges. Imagine the car breaks down in the air and you don’t know how to fix the hover system. There could be a case where your hover car is too heavy for the hover crane because it carries dead weight instead of guiding a hover machine. But perhaps automakers foresee this eventuality.
Giant engines mean a lot of maintenance. We already have V-12s today, but it can be a huge fuel hog. With fossil fuels becoming increasingly scarce, we will have to turn to other means of fuel.
Larger windshields and panoramic roofs are also part of our future. It makes the car look interesting and has a better view of its surroundings. This is especially wonderful when taking a scenic road trip or driving at night. Driving with the beautiful stars above you is an experience like no other.
Electric cars are also fast becoming part of our immediate future. They run on electricity and soon we will have electric filling stations instead of gasoline or diesel. There will be special tires designed for these electric cars to ensure the economy of the driving experience.
With the proper engineering and testing of these future cars, we can live an easier and more fun life. After all, the purpose of our future is to help our present.
