(I) It is quite possible that we will see flying cars in the near future. Recently, the world's first mass-produced flying car Terrafugia has went up into the sky. And not only went up, but even flew and landed safely. Terrafugia turns from car to plane in 30 seconds. It is driven by hybrid engines, accelerating to 104 km/h on earth and up to 185 km/h in the air.

(II) Due to the fact that the population of large cities is growing at high speed, recently more and more cars appear on the roads. That is why compactness and maneuverability of cars will be appreciated in the future.

(III) Most future cars will be driven by autopilot. Last year, dozens of companies presented their self-driving car concept, including a steering wheelless car. Note that the concept of "self-driving" in many cases is exaggerated, since not all cars can completely go without the driver's control. The comfort of the cars will also increase, allowing the driver to be as focused on the road as much as possible. Already today, modern cars from leading manufacturers are equipped with a large number of electronic systems required for a comfortable and safe ride.
