Evolution of Transport
Evolution of Transport
Version 0.1
Since the ancient medieval time discovery of
wheel as changed the way humans treadled the earth, from wooden
frames to cast iron, steel and aluminum to rubber etc. Bullock carts, Chariots
pulled by horses were used by humans to migrate to search for battle unknown.
It was the cheapest and fastest way to travel across places.
Version 0.2
The discovery of fossil fuels in the Industrial
revolution brought a renaissance in faster means of transportation and
thus Cars, Aero planes and
Buses were created, which increased speed, comfort and excitement and gave
a mold to modern transportation. Now one could fly, waver on high
seas or hit the dirt road with equal momentum. Thus travelling distance
was shortened to what once used to take months, weeks to days now!
Version 0.3
Now it takes hours to reach from one continent
to the other with advent of jet fuel with impressive comfort and Safety.
In today's age urban infrastructure cannot cater to burgeoning population
as even with speed the density has decreased the commuting speed on roads and
highways. The burning of fossil fuels since industrial era and vehicles
emanating 'Carbon Monoxide' (CO) has created air pollution which has globally
affected the environment and has made earth warmer by 2%. Nation is
clamoring for reduction in carbon footprints from developed and emerging
economies to go for greener fuels i.e. Solar Energy, Wind Energy and Electric
and Battery Powered Vehicles. This has increased more focus on to public
transportation and many countries are slapping urban taxes for
polluting vehicles.
Version 0.4
The future transportation will be exciting and
interesting as fossil fuel vehicles will be extinct by year 2030 and battery
powered vehicles will be flying on the roads without drivers (already on test
mode), Artificial Intelligence (AI) will leap ahead in technology in how we commute
without human touch. The maintenance cost will be reduced drastically and
vehicles will be lesser prone to accidents reducing premium cost on insurance!
Time is not far away when will see vehicles in different shapes and sizes
whooping on air!!
