The Traffic in the Future
Today, with the economy developing quickly, more and more people have cars, but they become less and less satisfied with the traffic. There is a joke saying that now astronauts can not only see the great wall from the universe but also the car lines on the highways.
In response to this, 5 graduates from MIT created a car named Terrafugia, which can switch from a car to a plane in less than one minute .
The first flying car model of Geely’s Terrafugia ,is a hybrid with 600 kilometers flying mileage. With foldable wings ,the two-seat flying car can switch from ground running mode to fly mode within one minute. Powered with a four –cylinder turbocharged gasoline engine ,the model can reach a speed of 160km/h in the air .Now Chinese private automaker Geely has launched talks with South China’s Hainan province for a landing of it’s flying car project .Geely’s flying cars will assist the tourists island with a more convenient and unique trade experience ,said Yang Xue Liang vice-president of Geely in November .
However, each coin has two sides. Although this invention reduces pressure on land, it creates many problems for air traffic. And this is an unfamiliar area for humans. What if the flying car runs out of power while it is flying. And it might need a large area for its landing. A lot of problems don't have proper solutions yet .
The most fundamental of these traffic problems is that the number of human-beings is increasing rapidly every year. The aging of populations is another problem. What we can do now is to study hard and come up with a better solution to this.
