  The little cars will cost much less to own and to drive.Driving will be safer, too.What is more, these little cars can go about 65 kilometers per hour.

  Little cars of the future will be fine for getting around a city, but they will not be useful for long trips.If big cars are still used along with the small ones, two sets of roads will be needed in the future.Some roads will be used for the big, fast cars, and other roads will be needed for the slower small ones.
