The New Technology series is an exciting, up-to-date look at new technology and the effect it is having on the world. Each title looks forward to likely future technological advances that will affect our everyday lives.Today we can already see hybrid cars and hydrogen-fueled buses on our roads. But how will we be getting around in the future? Will cars really be able to "talk" to each other and warn each other of obstacles on the road? Will underwater trains really get us from London to New York in two hours? Will we really be able to go into space on an elevator? With developments in transport technology, there is no doubt that the vehicles we use to get around will be very different in the future.
