Here is the car of the future! This car is very different from today's cars: It is quiet and clean. Unlike the average car today, which has wheels, this one does not. It moves like a snail, but is much faster than a snail!

This car will use electricity. It will use digital technology such as cameras to navigate. It will drive itself, like a robot. You just need to tell it your destination, and the car will go there. Therefore, people who are often busy with work, such as presidents or lawyers, are free to make phone calls on the way. And there will be self-driving taxis available all day and night. Also, due to its rapid movement, it will reach the location very quickly. It will also be very safe and comfortable--a smooth ride that feels like magic.

Passengers can relax during the journey, perhaps reading a magazine, watching a movie, or playing games like an online version of ping-pong. The car can also reduce the risk of accidents, providing safe transport for firemen and police officers on their way to work.

A lot of the technology has already appeared, but it is at the experimental stage. As an exciting development, fifty years from now, some new roads will have solar panels for cars to use.

However, you won't be able to drive a “snail car”, even if you're under 20 today. Maybe this is the car of the year 2100, and your grandchildren may drive it.

No pollution, no traffic jams, and no stress. It will be interesting to see what the cars look like many years from now.
