It is difficult to answer what the cars will be in the near future. But we can say for sure that the priority will be eco-friendly, practical, convenient and compact models. Maybe this will be a transformer that will amaze the imagination of many car owners. Flying cars of the future are clearly from the world of fiction, however, as close as possible to ideal devices with artificial intelligence, they will surely win hearts.
Energy consumption
It is worth noting that already now engines require less fuel than 5 years ago. Scientists' developments agree on one thought: to minimize the amount of emissions into the atmosphere, which will positively affect the environment as a whole. In order to create such an engine, it is necessary to completely update the technical management and equip it with electronic programs. This means that very soon there will be a car of the future, which practically does not need energy and will run on natural fuel.
We can say with confidence that in the future it will be economical and powerful. A concept such as ICE will simply disappear from use. Some German car companies have already signed a special contract under which they are committed to completely ceasing the production of traditional engines by 2050. In Japan, this is viewed with some distrust, the companies of the Land of the Rising Sun claim that it will not be possible to save cars from oil until 2060.
Environmental friendliness
The car of the future will not pollute the world. Perhaps this trend has appeared a long time ago and is being pursued by all machine manufacturers. There is a possibility that very soon a new type of engine will appear that will be absolutely safe for the environment.
So far, there are two most realistic ideas about the motor of the future:
- Hydrogen. Due to the fact that hydrogen production will soon become quite cheap, engine production will be profitable for many automotive companies.
- Electric. There is a possibility of creating a unit that can be charged from a wall outlet or using chargers.
Security
In order to avoid fatalities and serious consequences after an accident, it is necessary to ensure complete safety. The car of the future, most likely, will have unmanned control, which will already avoid 90% of road accidents.
It is worth saying that when creating the intelligence that will drive a vehicle, the interior of the car will change somewhat. It is unlikely that the usual design will remain. There is a high probability that the interior will look like a cabin with a sofa and a projector in the center. The design of the cars of the future will be based on electronics. The mechanical parts will completely disappear, which will increase safety. It is necessary to take into account the fact that a person in the cabin will only need to enter information about the place where he wants to go, the rest will be done by the car for him.
Vehicle Dimensions
Few would argue that more and more cars are appearing on the roads. And there is less and less space on the roadway. That is why compactness is a priority when developing such an aggregate as a car of the future. It’s difficult to say what it will be, but it can be assumed that, most likely, the dimensions of the body will be reduced as much as possible in comparison with the usual models, and, perhaps, the cars will even become transformable.
Although there is a converse assumption - the car will be of enormous shape in order to create the most convenient conditions for the driver and passengers.
The versions that say about the moving interiors of a car seem interesting: when will they be transformed depending on the situation. Sports cars may well get manual control, along with automatic. Just imagine how much pleasure the driver will get after several months without a steering wheel and pedals!
Tires without air
For a long time in the field of creating cars there was a task of creating tires that would have the highest level of safety and not be damaged. Earlier it was believed that the inflatable tire is the solution to this issue, but this is not so. An ordinary car moves thanks to reliance on compressed air, which “affects” the suspension.
There are suggestions that tires made of mesh spokes will be put on the car of the future. What will it be with such "equipment"? One can only guess. When using this equipment, the machine will not rely on air, but on knitting needles made of rubber, made using such technology, which boasts high strength and flexibility. Such tires are now manufactured by Bridgestone. However, they are used so far only on a golf cart. The company's goal is experiments on carrying capacity, and soon the car of the future (photo below) will ride on such supernova tires.
What will be the car of the future without?
- Music player. He is already on the verge of extinction in modern cars. The reason for this is that more and more drivers are using players and smartphones. In order to listen to music, just connect your gadget to the car system using headphones or wireless programs.
- Buttons. Most likely, the car of the future (photo is available below) will be equipped with a touch panel.
- The mechanical gear lever. Already, the vast majority of cars have an automatic transmission.
- Oversized engines.
- Large-scale vehicle equipment. Extended equipment, although slowly, but has almost gone out of fashion and few companies can offer cars that have many options and design options.
In addition to the usual optional disappearances, you will have to say goodbye to “clean” SUVs. At the moment, the market cannot offer truly hardy cars that are capable of conquering off-road conditions without difficulty.
All machines will operate on a single technology of the future. Such cars will amaze everyone, even the most skeptical drivers!
Citycar
It so happened historically that for several decades now people have been moving to live in cities, leaving villages and villages. Therefore, with population growth, overflows of highways are observed. This is especially felt in large cities. In order to skillfully maneuver among other cars, a compact car is needed. She can squeeze into the smallest parking spot. The concepts of cars of the future are constantly changing, but one thing remains unchanged - the desire to make your means of transportation the smallest and most convenient.
An excellent solution would be a CityCar. She can easily move along the sidewalks without creating discomfort when moving. Its length is 2.5 meters when unfolded, when folded - 1.5. An exit for the driver is provided both through the door and through the windshield. Therefore, parking problems will not arise.
Airpod
The safest car in the world can be called the AirPod. His "children" may well become the machines of the future. Now there are cars running on garbage and electricity. The same instance is started with the help of nothing more than air. Carbon dioxide emissions into the environment are practically zero. The engine works with the help of pistons, like the internal combustion engine, but they do not process fuel, but compressed air mixture. The difficulties of such a car are that in case of an accident there is a probability of a motor explosion. But manufacturers took care of this, and with mechanical damage, the tank cracks, due to which the mixture leaves the engine.
Googlecar
Companies are striving to create a car that can carry a person and park instead. Such people see the car of the future. A similar vehicle was proposed by Google.
This car was created based on the Toyota Prius. She is able to cover more than 500 thousand kilometers. However, so far it can only be controlled in Nevada and California. There, laws do not prohibit the use of cars on automatic control.
The meaning of the machine is that a special radar is installed on its roof, emitting invisible rays. They "examine" the space around, mirrors help them in this, and data is transmitted to the processor. Bumpers are equipped with touch panels, they allow you to avoid a collision with anyone. The windshield “monitors” with the camera what traffic signals and traffic signs are installed in front or in another part of the road. GPS is responsible for choosing the route. He chooses the most successful and shortest path.
