1、What kind of car will we be driving in 2020? Rather different from the 21 we know today, with the next 12 years bringing greater changes than the past 60. The people who will be 22 the models of tomorrow believe that 23 problems may well accelerate the pace of the car’s development. Today they are students on the 24 design course at London’s Royal College of Art.
Their imagination is of a machine with three wheels instead of four, 25 powered,environmentally friendly , and able to drive itself along 26 roads equipped with built-in power supplies. Future cars will 27 their fuel during long journeys from power companies built into the road, or store it in small quantities for travelling in the street.
This view of the future car is 28 on a much more super road system, with strips built into motorways to supply power to vehicles passing along them. Cars will not need drivers,because computers will provide safe driving control and route finding. All the driver will have to do is to say where to go and the computer will do the rest. It will become 29 for cars to crash into one another. The 30 already exists for the car to become a true automobile in the future.
