Future of Cars

Over the years, vehicles have evolved from open-air carriages that topped out at 10 mph to steel palaces packed with technology that can go over 200 mph, and they continue to advance. So what will cars look like in 10, 20, even 50 years? Here are a few ideas of what the auto industry might look like in the future.

Electric Cars

Electric and hybrid vehicles have gained popularity in recent years. In an effort to ditch fossil fuels and find more sustainable ways to live, we expect electric vehicles to become the norm, rather than the exception.

Self-Driving Cars
