Its a revolution in transportation that will result in a cleaner environment. My book Future of Transportation provides a sightseers tour of hot, new modes of transportation that any traveler would love to ride. Youll get the latest information on vehicle megatrends now emerging such as: Electric, Autonomous Vehicles. This is where huge, multi-billion dollar R&D investments are and will be producing a myriad of new driving, flying and biking choices. We showcase top concepts coming to market during the 2020 decade. Some are hydrogen and solar powered. All are electric powered or electric/hybrid powered. For consumers, the choice and selections coming out this decade are unprecedented and amazing. This is one of the most fun travel trips you will ever take and its all up to you to select your next, new green vehicle. Ground transportation is becoming smarter, increasingly autonomous and zero-emissions electric. Personal Mobility Systems. This is the most innovative destination of the future of travel. Flying cars are being developed by a Porsche-Boeing partnership and by Geely-Volvo among others. Flying taxis are being tested by Uber in major metropolitan areas to drive and then fly over traffic jams. Even flying jet packs for personal flying are coming of age, if you are daring enough to give it a try. The book provides the latest information on developing innovations. Electric Flights. The book chronicles some of the biggest projects to develop electric powered planes, including at the commercial passenger jet level. We also introduce you to solar powered, endless flying aircraft. And, a look at an incredible invention from MIT. The world first plane that is powered by ions and has no moving parts. The zero-emissions possibilities of this breakthrough aircraft are fascinating. Superfast Trains. Profound change is coming to train transportation for travelers. High speed train systems like Virgin Trains USA are deploying in South Florida. These systems have the capability to hit speeds of 125 mph plus and will be computerrun. Add to that, Elon Musks Hyperloop that is expected to dramatically change train travel. The elevated pods in vacuum tubes are forecast to hit speeds of 500 to 700 mph by 2040. Thats the equivalent of current jet travel speeds. That would make Boston to NYC a much quicker train commute! Space as a Destination. Space is becoming a destination for all of us. By the end of 2020, Sir Richard Branson says his Virgin Galactic spacecraft system will launch the first tourists into space. Also, NASA, SpaceX and Axiom, among others, are preparing to offer tourists the vacations of their lives with trips to space, including time aboard the International Space Station and later on trips to the Moon and Mars. Space may be the next item on your hot bucket list! Supersonic Air Travel. Air travel is about to go into supersonic plus speeds. Virgin Galactic plans to use its Unity Spaceplane to take commercial travelers on Earth at supersonic + speeds to their destinations. Founder Sir Richard Bransons envisions trips from LA to Tokyo taking 2 hours. Cutting destination times aboard a spaceplane like Unity would be incredibly convenient transportation for all of us.
