Over the last several years, it’s become ever more clear that the future of road transportation will not be based around the internal combustion engine or fossil fuels. Instead one day in the near future we’ll all be driving our Tesla Model (Insert alphabet letter hear) or our electric SUVs by various other brands. Not only do electric cars offer greater convenience for a large majority of car users but they also offer health benefits, energy independence and more than likely an autonomous mode of transportation. All that being said, electric cars are far from end game in the world of transportation. So let’s talk a little bit about what comes AFTER electric cars.

Micro-Mobility

It’s a little weird to think that a large portion of personal transportation was started with micro-mobility, whether we’re talking about bicycles or literally riding a horse into battle, I would consider these forms or versions of micro-mobility (Even though an average horse is fairly substantial compared to a bicycle). That being said, I don’t think there are a whole lot of inherent benefits in large vehicles once certain elements are set free from that sort of design. Sure larger vehicles are safer and offer more storage but with advancements in material science and design languages it’s not hard to imagine vehicles that are smaller and feature improved storage when compared…

The elements compose a magnum opus. My modus operandi is amalgam.
