There are a lot of new options for transportation coming up in the future. The innovations in transportation target “reducing stress, anxiety, cost, and death.” The first one is called Maglev Trains. They are high-speed and use magnetic levitation from electromagnetics. They are run by the engine of a magnetic field with combined electrified coils in the gateway walls and tracks. They are not powered by fossil fuels, so they are better for the environment. Another example is underground roads, an idea by Elon musk. It solves a lot of problems with infrastructure and also causes less traffic from weather concerns. Another idea by Elon musk is the hyperloop which is a transportation tube that could run people or goods in a track. Overall, transportation is evolving, while addressing many problems, such as overcrowding, climate, change, and wealth inequality.

 

I think this article is very interesting, because it talks about some of the newer methods of transportation that could come in our future. Although not all of these methods are in place yet, they are easy to picture in our future world. I already see lots of different kinds of technology like self-driving cars in San Francisco and the advancements of Teslas. Once more of this technology has developed, transportation will have grown significantly. The world is changing and for the better, because many of these solutions address problems mentioned before like global warming and poverty.
