Without a miss, you will find a familiar sight of sheen brown haze that hovers around in almost every major city in the world, entity is called a smog. This particular element comes mostly from cars, SUVs, and pickup trucks, the very things most of us drive or ride in a day-to-day basis.

Along with the smog comes carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas that is the primary cause of climate change. Added to this calamity is urban growth that is becoming the new way of life, and with it challenges to transportation. In our country especially the metro, city streets are already congested or clogged, and once the “rush hour” traffic starts comes the time people thought of “may forever sa traffic”.

But things are about to get better. A new trend of innovation, led by leading carmakers and automotive-tech companies globally, will transform the driving experience. Don’t worry, the car won’t disappear, it will just be powered by different energies, and in some cases, take on new shapes.

Manufacturers work out future ideas through concept cars. To solve the issues of pollution and crowded streets, their ideas of vehicles of the future are smarter, quicker and safer. They also will be self-driving, monitor the person behind the steering wheel and even communicate between themselves to avoid collisions. Yes, the future is here!
