  Humans have always dreamed of finding a way to leave traffic jams(交通堵塞)behindWell, dream no longerThe flying car and pod car(豆荚车)can help cut down on traffic jams

  The world’s“first flying car”, called the Terrafugia Transition, has made its first flight in the skies of the USIt can fly 640 km through the air without adding more gas, the car maker, Terrafugia Inc, says

  As a light airplane, it is not easy for the Terrafugia Transition to fly in poor weatherHowever, it has the advantage of being able to continue the journey by road if conditions take a turn for the worse

  This is the first proven flying car with foldable wingsThese allow it to perfectly transfer from air to road

  However, there are a few problemsThe car/plane, which is expected to go on sale as early as 2011, will cost about 194, 000(1.33 million yuan)Drivers will also need a driver’s and pilot’s license

  For those afraid of heights, or who don’t want to fly, the pod car is a great way to travelImagine using a button to stop the small pod-shape carThe doors open, you climb into the passenger seat, and enter your personal numberMinutes later, the doors slide open and you have reached the place where you’re going

  Cities around the world are looking into pod-car systems, as pod cars do not need human driversThey are designed for one person or small groups traveling togetherPassengers simply type their place into the pod car’s computer and the pod car takes them directly there

  Because pod cars do not make unnecessary stops and use electricity, they save a lot of energy and do not pollute the airPod cars also provide passengers with faster service and more privacy than a subway or bus

  While flying cars and pod cars may be a dream available to a few, many humans are still dreaming bigger dreams, such as teleportation(瞬间位移术)It is most widely found in works of science fiction

 Telep ortation is a method of transportation, in which, objects or information are dematerialized(使消失), and then recreated in another placeMaybe one day, teleportation could become a reality and people could avoid traffic jams for ever!
