8 Technologies that will change Transportation forever

This will change the way we move

I dreamed of air travel as a kid. The sky! The engineering! The tiny Coke cans! Then I grew up, and realized I much preferred trains (how European, I know). And, regardless of time and place, I believe crisscrossing the country in a car was, is, and will remain… too dull.

What’s interesting about the above statements is that travel technology hasn’t changed much in the past 30+ years. Sure, the trains got faster, the planes got safer; but compared to the technological jumps we saw in other industries, it’s surprising we haven’t come up with new and better ways of going from point A to point B.

This is about to change. From hydrogen-propelled vehicles to quantum transport optimization (and much more in between), we are seeing new ways of getting around emerge. Faster, safer, greener… these game-changing technologies will revolutionize transportation as we know it.

1. Ion-propelled UAVs

Smart / autonomous cars aren’t the only upgrades the City of the Future will offer. SciFi writers have long made us dream of flying cars. But what few had really thought about is just how loud propellers or turbine blades can be, essentially making them unusable in urban areas. So we had to come up with…
