Czech Republic: Skoda report predicts a hypermobile world in 2050
Pre-booking motorway space to travel to work in your entertainment hub is the latest prediction from respected think-tank the Centre for Future Studies. In a report commissioned by Skoda, the way we use vehicles is predicted to change dramatically by 2050.In 2050 motorists are predicted to pre-book travel on motorways in timed slots within vehicle ‘pods’, where vehicles take the strain of motoring and car pools are the norm. Motorists can change the colour of their vehicles to match their mood and download the latest software to boost performance.
It will come as no surprise to many that drivers will lose their sense of direction as dependence on satellite navigation becomes far more widespread. Media companies will provide in-car content of games and video that doesn’t require long periods of concentration or interaction. The increased robotisation of the car will ultimately hand over control to the vehicle, which will boost road safety and enable motorists to use their travelling time to watch the morning news, video conference or answer some emails.
Commenting on the findings of the study Dr Frank Shaw from the Centre for Future Studies said: “Skoda is to be applauded for thinking about how we will use vehicles in the future. The most effective car manufacturers spot the trends of tomorrow and start building them into the cars of today.
