When we envision the future, we always think of sophisticated vehicles and means of transportation. Why not? We all know a common symbol of advancement in futuristic sci-fi movies are the different transportation means. Or just think of the vehicles from the films Aquaman and Black Panther. The homes of the superheros (ocean and Wakanda) have very highly advanced transportation vehicles. Amazing, isn't it? Indeed, it is.

Well, now let's come back to the present day. We often wonder about great transport technologies, especially after watching superhero movies. There are a lot of technological advancements in the field of transportation sector. Here, we bring you a list of 5 transportation technologies that will transform the future. So, let's start the fun ride.

1. Hyperloop

Hyperloop is one of the most popular transport technologies today. Several companies are making leaps and bounds in the advancement of this technology. Several companies even have had the test runs for these new vehicles.

In a hyperloop, the properties of a vacuum are put into use to move the vehicle. The hyperloop can travel at a speed of 700mph. Well, that's a lot. This amazing speed inturn reduces the travel time by a lot. The hyperloop project is under development in many parts across the globe. So, let's look forward to it's incredible success.

2. Lightweight Vehicles

Lightweight vehicles reduce the weight of the vehicles by about 10%. This leads to a relatively lower consumption of fuel by the vehicle, at least by 6%. As the fossil fuels deplete, maximum fuel conservation is a must now. Several companies are exclusively working in production of lightweight vehicles.

Yet, it will take a considerable amount of time before they come into the automobile market. In such a scenario, we should always try to depend on companies which provide both light and heavy-duty vehicles. One such company doing quite innovative work in these fields is Truck1. The company has an advanced collection of amazing Volvo FH. The commercial vehicle trading with Truck1 will be one of the best in the market, owing to the years of craftsmanship and experience of the company.

3. Autonomous Cars

One of the most ambitious yet, potential transport advancement projects is the concept of autonomous car. It's highly tried and tested several times. Still, a lot of automobile and technological companies are working together to make it happen.

Unlike the other potential transport means of the future, the main concern of autonomous cars is safety. You know, people drive cars. There are several unexpected situations and encounters that can happen on a road, highway etc. It's rather unpredictable. So, the car should be able to act adequately and perform well in these unforeseen situations. This is the main determinant in the success of an autonomous car. So, the designs need to get this factor right as safety of the public can't ever be compromised.

4. Drones

Yes, we all know drones. They are relatively common now and are getting better every single day. There are several types of drones. Currently, engineers are attempting to make delivery drones which are more sturdy, fuel efficient, AI oriented, secure and reliable.

Further, the drones need to carry an entire package, so they need to have a strong build. There are several factors which should be modified before delivery drones are mainstream. But, the advancement towards delivery drones are heading in the right direction.

5. Flying Taxis

Well, it is not that far fetched of an idea. There are some companies working on the concept of flying taxis. Flying taxis increase the air traffic. So, the air traffic control and communication agencies need to prepare and adapt to the new change. But, air taxis can reduce the traffic on the road by a substantial amount. Also, the taxis will be rather fast relative to the ones on the road. Another major concern is gas mileage. So, it's an invention we all need to look forward to.

It is true that as technology advances, the transportation sector also advances. The requirement of the vehicles of the future is to meet the following demands. The high inflow of passengers is becoming more and more common nowadays due to globalisation. Neatly, fuel efficiency is a big issue now as the fossil fuels are depleting. Lastly, the safety of the passengers are a must. Despite all this, we are sure the above transport technologies will surely take off in the future.
