5 Amazing Futuristic Vehicles that could change how we travel.
No. 5 Toyota FCV Plus Hydrogen Fuel Cell concept car.
Having developed its Fuel Cell Vehicle (FCV) from concept to fully fledged production,
Toyota subsequently unveiled the FCV Plus.
In addition to being hydrogen-powered, the FCV Plus was designed to be a power source itself.
It effectively becomes a mobile power source, able to be used as a "stable source of electric
power" for the home, to feed back into the grid or to charge other cars.
Along with other components, including the drivetrain, The fuel cell stack of the FCV
Plus has been miniaturized, while still allowing it to be spacious inside.
Toyota characterizes it as being the length of a compact car with the cabin of a large
saloon, and I'm pretty sure they meant sedan because a saloon on wheels does not sound
a good idea.
The fuel efficiency of the vehicle is improved as a result of the lower weight afforded by
its smaller parts and aerodynamic design.
It is also said to be well balanced as a result of its major components being split between
both the front and rear ends.
Elsewhere, all four wheels of the FCV Plus boasts in-wheel motors, and it has near-panoramic visibility.

No. 4: The Scorpion 3 Hoverbike
The Scorpion 3 was designed to look like a heavy-duty sport-utility motorbike combined
with flight qualities which provide speed and maneuvering.
The machine basically surfs through the air by changing altitude and direction.
The SCORPION platform is a single-seat aircraft and a unique electric-powered vessel combining
a motorcycle seat with quadcopter drone technology bringing speed agility and stability of flight
to the hands of amateur and professional navigators.
For the moment, the SCORPION platform is increasingly seen as an extreme sports instrument, yet
the vessel's transportation potential remains quite evident.

No. 3: Mini's transparent concept car.
It's impossible to miss the striking transparency of its front and spartan minimalism of its interior.
Where other cars have instrument clusters, this Mini has a single bar, which accommodates
just two components: the steering wheel, which can slide across between passengers, and that
iconic round speedometer.
A much larger circular arrangement is positioned where the engine would usually be — this
is an all-electric vehicle, because BMW firmly believes that electric cars are the future of mobility.
It's entirely about car-sharing.
The idea is that the vehicle could be called to your location with an app, arriving autonomously,
ready for your use — no need to own one.
The entire car adapts to whoever is currently using it.
The silver exterior acts as a projection screen, letting the driver change colors and patterns on the fly.
Want a Mini in solid red?
Covered in stripes or plads?
And once you have your Mini preferences set, they'll be stored in the cloud and automatically
restored to the Mini that recognizes you.
It's all a little far-out, but then again, it kind of isn't: BMW (and the auto industry
at large) have started taking car sharing very, very seriously.

No. 1: Volocopter VC200
March 30, 2016 marked the first manned flight of the Volocopter VC 200.
The flight was totally awesome" says Alex Zosel right after his landing.
"The machine was absolutely reliable, there were no vibrations, it was tremendous."
One significant advantage of the Volocopter is its ability to be operated unmanned.
This allowed the e-volo development team to fly the new aircraft from the ground via remote
control with a special permit during the test flights.
The flight characteristics can be predetermined by altering the parameters in the control
software.
The goal is to program the Volocopter as a sporty and agile aircraft while also preventing
unsafe flight maneuvers, no matter how aggressively the pilot operates the joystick.
