Have you ever dream of a small automated method of transportation that take you from point A to B without having to actually drive it without the hassle of a bus? This might be closer then you imaging. A company name Ultra PRT are actually designing and build a new form a transport. Their name stand for Urban Light TRAnsport Personal Rapid Transit. They are making a system of small electricity power vehicle that wait at specific location near a track, waiting for a user to get in and give the vehicle a location he need to reach. They are already building one at the London Hearthrow airport to link a station with two remote other station in the airport car park.
You can see a nice video about the system here:
Up until the end I thought you were just describing trains in a really fancy way.
ReplyDeleteThat's really the future nearby. Following.
ReplyDeleteI actually dreamt of this concept a couple of times. think of it, your driving/trip is controlled by computers i.e. no more car crashes, on-time arrival, no more drunk driving, no more age limit.
ReplyDeleteWow... this should be fully operational in 1,5 years from now!!! I want to see this London is just across the channel.
