It’s five o’clock, and you’ve finished work for the day. You exist your office building and cross the parking lot to your vehicle. Its bright green paint and aerodynamic make it look more like a colorful fish than a car. As you drive home, you look up and see several flying cars move through the air above the crowded . Suddenly, a triangle-shaped, three-wheeled vehicle passes you. While this scene seems like something out of a film, this is the future of cars. These cars may be here sooner than you think.
The idea of flying an to escape highway traffic is a driver’s dream. This is not new idea. Over the past 90 years, there have been at least 104 “flying cars,” but none have succeeded. One company, Terrafugia, however, has successfully invented the first aircraft called the Transition. The works because it both flies in the air like an airplane and drives on the ground like a car. It has an aircraft engine but automotive gasoline. It has two seats and folding wings. The Transition can change from a car to an airplane in 15 seconds. Though it is unlikely that the Transition will be seen in the near future, it’s exciting to know that modern ideas may soon change the way cars are built.
Another vehicle we may see in the future is the XR3. The XR3 is a three-wheeled vehicle shaped like a . The point of the triangle rests over the single rear wheel. Its unique shape and shiny silver exterior give the car a . What makes the XR3 so different is that it can be built at home, and you don’t have to be an automotive to build it. Clear instructions and materials can be bought from the designer. Known as a “personal transit vehicle,” the XR3 holds one person. It’s a car that runs on both electricity and gas and gets 125 miles (201 kilometers) per gallon (3.8 liters). The XR3 is designed for people who want to save fuel and build their own vehicle. For this reason, the designer is confident that the XR3 is the car of the future.
The car company Mercedes has developed a car called the Bionic, modeled after a tropical fish, the boxfish. The design is a result of the company’s effort to make a more car. One reason some cars waste gas is that they produce too much . Drag is the an object feels when it moves through the air or water. The higher the drag on a car, the more fuel it takes to move the car. The streamlined boxfish produces little drag as it moves through the water. The Bionic imitates the shape of the boxfish and uses twenty percent less fuel than today’s standard cars. This helps the Bionic’s engine get 70 miles per gallon. Mercedes does not plan on making the car available to the public in the near future. However, the Bionic shows us that by using nature as a guide, cars can be extremely fuel-efficient.
While these three vehicles may only be now, they inspire the next of cars. In the twenty-first century, we have already seen a in car design. It’s not uncommon to see hybrid electric cars on the road. Cars that run on sources, such as , ethanol, and biodiesel, are also becoming more popular. As car designs continue to , we may soon see vehicles like the Transition, the XR3, and the Bionic on the road – or in the air. Perhaps one day in the future, you’ll fly in a car with your grandchild to an automobile museum. You’ll both be amazed at the cars that we drive today.
