6 FUTURE TRANSPORTATION TECHNOLOGIES THAT WILL
CHANGE TRANSPORTATION
Self-Driving Automobiles

Self-driving automobiles are already here. They’re still

undergoing the earliest stages of development and
testing, but they’re already present on our nation’s
roadways. Unfortunately, Uber recently 
suspended their tests after one of their vehicles struck
and killed a pedestrian in Tempe, Arizona in March
2018. While this represents a significant setback in
the progress of fully autonomous vehicles, developers
remain optimistic about the future of this
transportation technology.
 Smart Cars

Many consumers already own smart vehicles. The exact

definition of a smart car varies between manufacturers,
dealers and individuals, but it generally describes a
compact, fuel-efficient vehicle that utilizes new and
innovative technology to make life easier for the driver
and passengers. In some cases, manufacturers are
transitioning to electric or hybrid cars. This new
generation of smart vehicles still has some challenges to
overcome — such as the distance they’re able to travel
between charges, the number of passengers they can hold
and even the amount of trunk space — but they’re already
common our nation’s streets and highways.
Next-Gen GPS Devices
GPS units are nothing new — they’ve been around for
decades. The biggest difference when comparing 
modern GPS devices to earlier models is the amount of
functionality seen in the newer hardware.
In the past, GPS devices were very limited. They could
calculate total mileage and provide an estimated time of
arrival to a final location — but that was about it.
Today’s GPS units are much more versatile. Not only do
they fulfill the basic functionality of planning a trip, but
they can make adjustments for extreme weather, traffic
conditions or even your preferred route.
High-Speed Rail Networks

High-speed rail networks are generating tremendous

interest all around the globe. The Shinkansen bullet train
 was officially unveiled in Japan in 1964, and countries
have been hoping to introdAlthough there’s been little
progress, some nations are still pursuing these plans.
Officials in the United States are currently considering no
less than ten high-speed rail networks in the country alone.
The Hyperloop — originally conceived by Elon Musk — is
an underground rail that shows speeds up to 240 mph in
early tests. Developers hope to achieve three times that
speed with the finished version.
uce their networks ever since.
Gyroscopic Vehicles
Although flying cars might be too complicated for
mainstream use any time soon, hovering vehicles — which
are propelled with the assistance of monorails and
balanced through the innovative use of next-gen gyroscopes
— could solve public transportation issues across the globe.
While these vehicles look like they’re something out of a
sci-fi comic book or television show, they could become a
reality sooner than expected.
Sometimes referred to as gyrocars, their size makes them
more akin to modern busses or trains. Early
conceptualizations show a vehicle that can move along on
city streets and even raise its body via built-in stilts to
navigate through traffic congestion without stopping.
