1. Ford “smart gauge” collects Green leaves for good behavior:

Ford wants to make sure their car buyers are driving well on the roads. Their plan is to reward those drivers who are driving well with a green leaf displayed next to the speedo.  The new smart gauge will teach better driving through rewards.

2. UPS orders up Hydraulic hybrids from Eaton:

UPS has begun testing a hydraulic vehicle, they have begun testing on a truck from Eaton. This is going to be environmentally pleasing, however the price isn’t cheap.

3. Audi gets record-beating biogas A4 to 203 mph:

Audi has announced a record-beating A4 with great speed. The unusual feature of the A4 is that it runs on an alternative fuel, biogas which is naturally obtained from the anaerobic fermentation of switch grass.

Future of Cars:

When i think back to how differences between cars 25 years ago and now there are several differences and similarities, however within the next 25 years, as our technology continues to improve, a car will have a more environmentally friendly make and design. The outside design of the car will probably be a smaller, sleek, smooth riding car, that has more of a sporty look to it. I think the doors of the cars will be technology designed to open and close easier and i think the speed of cars will increase. Also i think in 25 years, people can create a car that drives on its on by commands of the driver or programming.

Since keeping our environment clean and prospering, is a common trend in new and upcoming car designs, i am almost positive in 25 years that people will invent an officiant fuel that is easy to use. Companies are already struggling to invent a natural fuel. Hopefully in 25 years the prices of this special fuel and cars will not be at such an outrageous price. In 25 years and the future in general, will hopefully invent a car with a sleek design, fabulous run, and good fuel!
