The current transportation system is not at its best, with longer commute times, the extreme traffic, and the hassle of finding a public transport you can hop in for the day. It seems by 2030, things might get better. Transportation options such as hover cars are projected to be available by 2030. This is because of improvements in technology, as USA Today details:
"Transportation planning has always been around how to get a vehicle from place to place using roads and traffic lights. But that's changing," said Thom Rickert, a risk and insurance specialist at Trident Public Risk Solutions.
The mobility industry's next objective is to focus on moving a person through multiple modes of connected travel.
That's where air taxis, e-scooters, connected trains and semiautonomous cars come into play, powered by widespread 5G connectivity, Rickert said.
