How will transportation look like in the future? In today’s video we take look into the Future of Transportation and explore some amazing technologies that will revolutionize how we travel in the future. There has been no denying that for several years in the past, the world has been undergoing massive changes, thanks to the advancement in technology. However, when it comes to transportation, the changes have not been that large. Transportations method such as cars, trains, ships, and planes have improved somewhat in functionality over time, but since their creation, they have in large part stayed the same.

In this video, we will unveil some amazing future transportation technologies that without a doubt will absolutely blow your mind!

The technologies we look at in today’s video include Earth-to-earth rockets, which will let you travel from one side of the earth to the other in less than 1 hour. This technology utilizes the famous Starship from Elon Musk’s SpaceX. We then move on to Hyperloop Systems, which is a cutting-edge new technology that makes use of a vacuum-sealed tube to send passengers or freight at high speeds. This concept was also introduced by Elon Musk, but through the company ironically named as The Boring Company. Further, we explore Fully Autonomous Vehicles, and in more in depth — into the various level of autonomation available today and what will be there in the future.

The video also covers Flying Taxis and Hypersonic Air Travel. The flying taxis, like the ones being constructed by Volocopter, is a new transportation method that could take the world by storm in the future. The same goes for hypersonic air travel that will let passenger again take to the sky in hypersonic aircraft similar to the Concord in the past, only much safer and considerably faster.

The California PUC granted Waymo a permit to operate 24 hours/day in San Francisco taking select members of the public for rides with no safety driver in the vehicle. Waymo says it will begin this shortly. This comes on the heels of them expanding such service in Phoenix, as reported in my article on how the death of self-driving cars has been greatly exaggerated earlier this week.

This service will be with “trusted testers” rather than members of the broad public that can ride in Chandler and Phoenix, Arizona.

Waymo gets a permit to take the public and will start running with trusted testers. They also start in LA and show off their new robotaxi. Cruise also ups its game. Zoox got into an accident but it was in manual. Aurora reminds us they do more than trucks.

It has been built to be a self-sustaining floating city.

Designer Pierpaolo Lazzarini has proposed a concept for a bold and innovative terayacht which is a giant floating continent double the size of the Roman Colosseum, as first reported by DesignBoom last Friday. It’s called the Pangeos watercraft and it consists of a floating city that includes various hotels, shopping centers, parks, as well as ship and aircraft ports.

Inspired by Pangea.

The concept can host up to 60,000 guests in the middle of the sea surrounded by water and is in the shape of a gigantic turtle.

Diehard Elon Musk fans have created a 30-foot-long monument dedicated to their hero – and it cost them over half a million pounds ($600,000).

The unique piece sees the richest man in the world’s head attached to a goat’s body while riding a rocket.

It’s the brainchild of cryptocurrency firm Elon GOAT Token ($EGT), who later this month plan to present it to the billionaire at his Tesla workplace in Austin, Texas.

Flying car startup Airspeeder has completed what it’s referring to as the “world’s first electric flying car race” in the South Australian desert.

While the two competing pilots were steering the two full-scale flying cars remotely, it still made for an epic launch of a brand new kind of motorsport, as seen in a promotional video of the event.

“This is just the start, this first race offers only a glimpse of our promise to deliver the most progressive, transformative and exciting motorsport in the world,” Airspeeder founder Matt Pearson said in a press release.
