The car of the future sits more than two people and runs on electric power. The car can communicate with other vehicles without using any device like an iPhone or any mobile device. You can communicate with another car by talking in your normal talking voice and they will be able to hear you, but that does make it a little bit hard when you're talking because there should be other people talking. However, don’t worry because all you have to do to make a private call is to copy their license plate on your screen and if they accept you will be able to talk to them. The car is also able to reach other destinations faster and does not cause a lot of traffic jams or crashes. This invention is just like a Segway, just that it's better and a whole lot bigger!

The solar powered bicycle is fast, glides uphill and downhill effortlessly, you don’t have to move your legs if you were tired and you don’t have anything else to ride. It is also solar powered so you don’t have to worry about energy because most cyclers usually cycle in the morning. The solar powered bicycle also has a roof which protects your from rain are the sun. Don’t be scared if it goes too fast because it has a seatbelt followed by two handles both right and left so you won’t fall down. The model is thin but very tall. If you were to transport it to somewhere else you might not be able to but since it is thin and quite light, you can carry it anywhere you want.
