The inside of the car is minimalist to reduce ware and as this cars would be inconstant use this would help keep them clean and usable, the car itself has sliding doors on each side to allow easy access and would seat six people with ample room for any luggage.

On a larger scale there would be a network of one way streets that would cross through the city allowing quick access to anywhere in the city, because there is no friction between the car and the road the cars can run at speeds around 250 mph, and due to the cars being self driving this can be done safely.

My mode of transport is a hovering car that is self driving, in the scenario no one would own a car, the car would be in constant motion working like a taxi and could be summoned with a smart phone like device. Once a car is requested the closest available free car would come and collect you and take you to the location requested through your smart phone.

As my scenario called for a mode of transport that needs fuel I started to look at methods to reduce the waited energy such as heat and noise, one way I found to do this is to use superconductive magnets to hover thus removing friction as a factor. I also looked at self driving cars as if human error could be removed from the cars accidents would be reduced, speed could be increased and the car would always be driving at its most efficient.

My scenario is that of an overpopulated world that is running low on both space and fuel, for these reasons the population of earth now lives in 4 super dense cities to free up land for the production of food and due to the limited fuel left on the planet low energy modes of transport are needed.

To start out project on the future of transport we were asked to watch a few sci-fi films, for this I chose to watch Judge Dredd, as it resembled a scenario I had in mind for the project and Total Recall as it has some interesting modes of transport.
