Travelling in the future will be much easier and safer
People may travel in a driverless car. Even old and disabled people will be able to use it, because the car can drive itself. However, a driverless car will be expensive. People can choose to go on foot on moving pavements. A Swiss company has invented a system of high-speed moving pavements. People will go through the streets at up to 15 kilometres per hour just by standing on the pavements. This will reduce traveling time of pedestrians and traffic jams effectively. Therefore, more people will leave their vehicles home.
