Electric power flight!

 Still early days?

There are many designs and concepts out there and the few that are operating are still classed as very unstable and dangerous, but as time moves on better engines will be developed and some aircraft will make it to the civil market on the air taxi scale two-four passengers?

Embraer is leading the way with the possibility of commercial aircraft within the next ten years, while several others are moving into combination powered aircraft, just like hybrid automobiles, but the development of new lighter carbon materials is opening the door for some serious models to come to the fore?

Meanwhile the drone is now at its current height of being militeriesed, as seen in the Ukraine on both sides, but they have limited range still and one is only seeing old NATO models being used on the battlefield, rather than anything that is really new.

The future may see drones being used as AI driverless cars in the future and that will be something of a change?

Driverless Vehicles!

 Sooner than Later?

We already have driverless metro's, and various Monorail and tram systems such as here in the U.K. with the DLR (Docklands Light Railway) and the not so new system employed at Heathrow International airport.

But with continued experimentation continuing in the United States and Japan, the car and truck is coming soon? A few teething issues remain and the possibility of a slower Motorway speed limit might be for dedicated lanes and safer infrastructure in case of a collision?

Escaped cattle and other farm animals remain a problem in many part of the world, apart from desperate humans trying to cross busy roads for all sorts of reasons?

Bus and Coaches. Part-Two.

Internet Access.

The history of the Coach and bus has progressed from moving just people from A to B/Z? Over the years comfort has been one consideration from curtains to smoking facilities? Ventilation to on board toilets and adaptions for sleeping and television.

Today both the single and double-deckers have internet facilities and chargers for all our electronic needs or demands? The coffee bar has been bi-passed and what the future holds is perhaps speed, because there is not much more that one can do with a coach or bus that has not been thought of?

Automated driving may be one course for the years ahead since many vehicles can access toll-gates without the need to stop.  Both the concept of the trailer and the bendy bus has come and gone, trolley buses of the 1950's were advanced for their time, perhaps a double decker bendy bus might be the next idea?
