How do you think cars will change in 10 years?

Answer 1

I assume that alternative fuels will eventually come into play along with electricty and all sizes of vehicles will get better gas mileage than they do now. The looks will get more and more defined and the pricing will become more competitive but it will be hard to find something that is different and individual. 10 years isn't really that much time for a big change like that but it's possible considering the situation were in.

Answer 2

Not a lot. the average car has so far increased in size over the last 20 years, the mini being a good example, I see them becoming as big as the tractor unit of a truck on the future. I also do not see the average car having any better fuel consumption and all those that want hybrids will find that you have to put in a certain amount of energy to make the vehicle move and the charging at night is from one of the most inefficient methods of powering anything electricity which produces only about 30% of the input power as electricity, how efficient is that?

Answer 3

Those who actually know how to operate a petrol fueled motor
will nudge younger generations who don't and again repeat
account of their personal history with same as the natural gas
odour comes to their noses at roadside. Old tarmac littered with rusting hulks of English steel useless since the North Sea
remaining petrol became too expensive for all but industry or
well 'connected'. A ripple of applause follows another muddy Russian 3-wheel Ural running on 60 liters of liquid propane gas extracted from Natural gas that Canada and the USA still export to the U.K. Since 2011 all Moslim Nations declined petrol export to any country that recognizes Jewish Israel as
a legitimate state. European vehicle choices are now more varied. France has returned to 1943 Era Methane Engines (derived from livestock dung); sales of their Vichy XXXIX Sedans
are improving in Africa and India. Sweden continues making
its ever popular line of electrics. China remains the largest consumer of world petrol and has a very cordial relationship with 'Big Oil'. The bulk of all Chinese petrol fueled engine production is for their domestic market. Only the well to do in England purchase and fuel a 2017 Chairman Mao 6-Door Model. The U.K. usually rides the ubiquitous wicker-made rickshaw which stout native sons pull and may soon produce if enough Mongolian Peoples Republic investment capital can be induced into moribund finances of U.K.; thousands of tax sheltered wealthy Expatriate's, mainly from sunny Eastern Caribbean, watch from afar with muted English interest.

Answer 4

I would think that they will either have square wheels or no wheels at all. It wont really matter as The Government, Local Authorities and Ken Livingstone are between them going to put up the costs of fuel, put toll booths on most major roads bridges and tunnels, and prohibit us from doing anything at all in our vehicles that shows even the slightest hint of individualism or freedom. They are also going to charge the earth for parking them as well so we can't win whatever we do.

Looking on the bright side however (forever the optimist), as the vehicles will no longer be able to move, it will be safe to have televisions and electric kettles installed in them and we could probably have those electric extension cables that boats have to plug in to mains power on shore. We coul;d then plug in to a sort of parking meter electric supply as well so we could even have some sort of storage radiators installed, and we could then use our cars rather like having a conservatory.

Answer 5

I have an awful feeiling that there will be many fewer cars on the road in 10 years time. Petrol and diesel will be too expensive for the ordinary motorist and we will be driving hybrid, electric or hydrogen powered vehicles. Most will be too expenpensive for the ordinary motorist. I think bio fuels will prove inappropriate because of the huge amount of agricultural land needed to grow the crops. By then tax on cars and fuel will be prohibitive. I suspect most of us will be driving small, rather boring little boxes on wheels.

Answer 6

If my experience of cars as they age is anything to go by, we can expect rust and more expensive repairs.

Gone are the days of popping the bonet and taking the cylinder head off, or adjusting tappets or carburation as an owner.

As we get more technology in cars, we pay more for repairs. The parts replaced are now whole 'management systems', not just the needle valve, contact breaker and an timing adjustment like we used to do.

Answer 7

Sat Nav taxation on journey. more ECO friendly at extra cost. Not much further in computerisation.(thank goodness). Probably more plastic and fibre glass.Smaller cars. Probably electronic system to control cars speed in certain areas. Running costs will be sky high forcing people from roads or to having unmaintained cars. In 10 years probably 40% increase in cost of car.

Answer 8

The use of hydrogen Willl become the new fuel of the future , and electric small cars for local driving will become the norm , and of course the use of private cars wil start to be restricted, the use of mineral oils will become more widspread

Answer 9

I cannot much change in the last 75yrs.The majority of them for sale still function on the same princples as they did back then.This internal combustion part of them needs the same fuel etc.If we are lucky.Computer aided design may come up with small engined leaf blower like back packs that get us around.I did mention this to my Gran.She put the Kybosch on it straight away.She says if it lifts up in the air she ain.t do init.A do know one thing that to cars in the future.they will get more expensive.Green.Taxes.Am ducking.

Answer 10

good question - i think cars will need to become even more environmentally friendly - reduce emissions further and use some sort of alternative fuel - i feel that because of the huge number of road deaths all cars will have speed limitors - and i personally feel manufacturers need reinforce cars for the possibility of crashing - my husband takes part in motorsport and their cars have roll cages fitted so that should they have a crash they are protected from the impact- i cant believe that this is not standard for all vehicles -
