Here Comes Podcar – Your Personal Rapid Transit

It's small in size, automated/ computer-guided car and it can take you to the desired destination in few minutes. This is the vehicle of future – Podcars.

Personal rapid transit – Podcars are being defined as private, on-demand non-stop travel system. Electricity is the fuel for these cars that would definitely minimize the use of fossil fuels. This is one of the major advantages of podcars but has stunned the automobile industry that might face risks of being greatly affected when such cars become a common sight in cities.

With accommodation capacity between 2 to 10 persons, these cars would take you wherever you want to go. Sounds convenient! Isn't it? Podcars would run on an elevated guideways thus minimizing congestion on the road.

The concept of podcars is gaining momentum. These podcars are definitely becoming a debatable issue in the news of automotive industry. Now, as every new technology has something good and bad to offer, this one has them too. I'll be covering the benefits of these podcars in the forthcoming posts. Till then, be optimistic to get a ride soon in the podcars that might be coming soon to your city.
