$2.8 Million Future Car Exhibit Wows Crowds at Volo Auto Museum
| Imagine the future, when cars like this one will be interconnected through the Auto Matrix. They'll talk to each other, reduce congestion by reducing the amount of space required between them and allowing high-speed travel. A brand new, $2.8 million future car exhibit at the Volo Auto Museum features this incredible car and awe-inspiring video. Visitors can learn all about the capabilities scientists and engineers predict for our automotive futures. |

For example, through nano-technology, cars will repair their own surfaces. A vandal keys your car? Like a scratch on a human, it will heal itself – only far more quickly. Our cars will protect us from ourselves, wake us if we dose, calm us if we become aggressive, and refuse to make maneuvers that would result in a collision. Imagine cars that are interconnected with each other, as people now are on the Internet. These cars will know their drivers' profiles, match-make for them while they're in traffic, or seek out known and potential business contacts. |
| Or how about, instead of taking your eyes off the road to search the radio for a good song, your car automatically searches for and shares music files with like-minded motorists? The technology is well under way. For city driving, smaller cars will be designed to stack together, like shopping carts. When a driver is finished with his errands, he simply takes the front car from the stack. Through the technology of the future, this car from the front of the stack – even though not the one the motorist arrived in – will know the driver's settings and automatically adjust things like seats, mirrors and temperature control. |

Further, cars will safely and spontaneously travel at such high speeds, the windshields will darken so that their human occupants are not frightened. Appearing before the driver at that point could be anything from an interactive computer screen to a tropical setting.
In a special hurry? Like maybe you're taking your pregnant wife to the hospital? Swipe your credit card in the device next to your steering wheel and your car will let others ahead know that you're willing to pay to advance.
And what will these fabulous cars look like? Well, we at the Volo Auto Museum think it's a safe bet that sometime around the year 2030, you'll spy cars a lot like this one in the fast lane.
