For a while, Heathrow Airport in London has been using these ULTra PRT transport pod in order to take travelers from place to place. I have never been there, but it seems rather futuristic.
The next step is clearly driverless cars on the road. Apparently, the city of Milton Keynes wants to create a lot of these podcars to transport the 200,000 citizens around. It may be that the city will have these cars in 2015, but by 2017, there could be 100 of these transports.
This should cost about $105 million, and I can’t help but think of the maglev cars from Minority Report. I told you that I can’t help referencing this film.
