Nick Toadvine discusses some future technologies you can expect to see in the transportation industry.

1. FUTURE
TRANSPORTATION
TECHNOLOGIES

2. Soon, technology that we once thought was incredibly
futuristic will take hold of our everyday lives and help us
in every way possible. Transportation has been a key
aspect of life that tech giants and innovators have
focused on for years. Making the way we get around
more efficient will change our lives for the better. These
technological advancements are beginning to seep into
advertising outlets to inform us that the future is here!
This article will talk about some of the more prominent
and realistic technologies that are changing the way we
look at transportation for good.

3. Autonomous
Vehicles
Self-driving cars are here to stay. Big
companies like Tesla, Google, Uber, Toyota,
BMW, and Mercedes are all tuning their
technologies to achieve completely
autonomous cars for the general population.
Some of these companies are not only
focusing on cars alone, but rather buses,
trains, trolleys and even drones are being
programmed to maneuver autonomously.

4. Roads
Not only are the vehicles we use to get around day-to-day being
adjusted, but the roads they travel on are also changing the way
we get around. Smart Roads are being designed to communicate
with cars through sensors within the car and the road itself. This
information will be able to tell the car what is going on around
them and how it should respond. Smart roads can be the answer
to many of our transportation concerns especially when it comes
to inclement weather. Smart roads will run on solar power and be
able to use that power to not only communicate with other
vehicles but meltaway snow and ice. Smart roads can
revolutionize the way we we use our vehicles. Another technology
that is upcoming has nothing to do with wheels on the road.

5. Hyperloop
Hyperloop is a concept from the teams of SpaceX and Tesla
combined to create an underground means of transportation
that has never been seen before. Hyperloop is stated to reach up
to speeds of seven hundred miles an hour. Hyperloop will run
entirely on an electric motor and glides along a track due to
installed magnets in the train. These magnets allow the train to
move at incredibly fast speeds by not being attached to a track
and also very low aerodynamic drag.
These new technologies and many more are forever changing the
way we interact with the world. Only time will tell what
technologies will come to fruition and benefit society as a whole.
