Just saw this trailer "Looper" with Bruce Willis in it, saw brief glimpses of the cars/vehicles in it. Do you think there will be hover technology by then? Is the film realistic or just stupid?

It would be a nightmare to police on what would effectively be multi levels.

Imagine what a cutting out fault at 100 ft would do to the driver.

Interesting, 31 or so years hence....

Perhaps this thread should be put into the Pistonheads Time Capsule ?

My predictions,

New cars will be predominantly electric, the battery tech having been improved significantly in the last 31 years, there will be a decent charging infrastructure and possibly standard interchangable battery packs for part of the cars capacity.

IC engines will be rare and not connected to the wheels, used as a range extender

They wont hover, requires masses of energy to hover the weight of a car or some kind of magnetic track, wheels work just fine. Hovering soon becomes aviation and that is a different ball park altogether.

Driving will be partially controlled by computer on some roads if not all.

Data downloads will be standard practice, the car will be constanly relaying information.
