Can you imagine what city traffic will be like in 2050 or in 2090? I can’t say exactly but I know that it will be unbelievable. The cities will grow and become huge, so people will need only fast and comfortable transport. Because of this buses, trolley-buses and trams will disappear. So what will be the main transport? Of course, cars will be the most popular vehicle. By 2050 we will have cars that will drive themselves. All these cars will have computers and you’ll only need to say to the computer the place where you want to go. And the car will take you to the place. For example, “Drive me to the City Bank” will be the order for the car. By 2050 we will drive on fully-automated highways. And some flying cars will appear. The dream of all drivers comes true. These cars will have an astonishing speed. You will be able to set a necessary speed only by setting the time at which you need be at the definite place and the car itself will choose the speed. In future progress in technology, electronics and engineering will make it possible to use recycled plastic, cans and jars as a fuel. It will be very economical. Future cars will be made so that their exhaust gases will not add to the pollution. You will be able to fill up your car with pills made of recycled plastic or cans. All people will have several own cars. But there will be public cars too. They will not be big. Their passenger capacity will be 5 or 10 people. Such city cars will operate every time you need it. These cars will have no special accessories. But they will have tables “City traffic”. There will not be definite routes. The city traffic will take you where you need. It will be not a public transport it will be a real wonder.
