”Driving a vehicle is too dangerous for humans and will be outlawed when\u00a0autonomous cars are proven to be safer”<\/em>, claims Elon Musk, billionaire founder of electric car company Tesla.\u00a0Despite the hype about driverless vehicles, \u00a0experts say that\u00a0it would take 20 to 30 years before they could co-exist with existing vehicles in cities.<\/p>\n

However it is predicted that technology\u00a0will\u00a0take over from drivers in simpler\u00a0situations such as traffic jams and parking within the next five years. Yes,\u00a0in 2020 your new car will know how to park itself!<\/p>\n

The future of car travel is not just about security and convenience, it’s also about saving time. Going driverless will prevent you from having a car accident<\/a> and also give us the opportunity to do something else while on the road. Cars will become communal living rooms on wheels.<\/p>\n

French manufacturer Peugeot also has an exciting vision for the future. \u00a0Peugeot Moovie, an environmentally friendly city car that looks very different from the norm… \u00a0It’s made of\u00a0 foam, \u00a0plastics, steel, polycarbonate and plexiglas amongst others… But it’s not operational yet, don’t get too excited!\"Peugeot-Moovie-Concept-Car-1280x960-desktopia.net\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But do you know what the real next step is? No roads at all! \u00a0Yes you hear me, why drive when you can fly?\u00a0A few companies are already working on the concept of flying cars and have came up with prototypes. \u00a0Terrafugia is hoping to have flying cars within the next ten years! Check out their video here<\/a>. \u00a0We wouldn’t mind relocating this car!<\/p>\n
