- čas přidán 9. 08. 2021
- By 2050, global transportation will be vastly different than today. Vehicles will go electric and fully autonomous, transporting people around with no human interaction. Meanwhile, autonomous semi-trucks, vans and robots will deliver packages. In cities, buses and electric robotaxis will shuttle people around on streets and in underground tunnels. In the skies, eVTOL’s will also fly passengers around. On the ground, high speed trains and hyperloop systems will quickly transport people across continents. Across oceans, supersonic jets and hydrogen airplanes will move passengers around. In domestic markets, electric planes will do the same. In the oceans, electric boats and super containers will move people and cargo around. Lastly, in space, rockets, space elevators and space catapults will get people and cargo into orbit and across the solar system.

People in the future will look back at this video the same way that we look back at those videos from the 60s where they predicted we would have flying cars by the 90s
True lol
Only these technologies are being developed today
We do have flying cars.
@@dazza2350 no
@@zylnexxd842 they do exist but they are not exactly widely used. Do you really think that we will have a space elevator and a hyperloop in 30 years?
This video is an optimist's wet dream.
Futrgasm
Ye, we are going to be in a trainwreck of a collapsed global society WAY sooner than half of these coming true.
@@alterworlds1629 it's interesting to me because I'm both an optimist and doomist
@@malinaizetiopije8844 a doomtimist, if you will.
LOLOLOL
2000: in 2020 cars will be flying
2020: even planes aren't flying
More like:
1950: in 2000 cars will be flying.
2020: Not even planes are flying.
Aeromobil
Is this a covid joke or what?
Unfortunately true
Unless drones can make a breakthrough and be near silent, the widespread implementation of them is nil. The noise pollution of a fleet of drones delivering things domestically would be a fucking nightmare.
We already let cars do that to us. Cars are what make cities so fucking loud.
@@enotsnavdier6867 drones can fly though, so they pose an added layer of danger. Also, I'm not sure I want a giant amozon airship floating over my city at all times. Seems kinda dystopic.
OMG - already my neighbours dogs ffs!
@@travishardaway6348 not really, in startrek citys float in the sky’s above other cities, imagine that.
@@RandomGamer-qy6ys yeah, cities.
Not mega corporations that have effective control over everything in society.
This video puts too much confidence into Elon Musk. The way to reduce car traffic isn't to "make it 3D", but to reduce car usage by expanding public transport while making cities friendly walkable and bikeable. Cars are the most inefficient, anti-human and costly mode of transport to exist in modern times, and we should make sure to minimize their use wherever we can.
I couldn't agree more. The car as a means of transport is incredibly silly.
Exactly. Cars are the problem. Building more ways for them to travel does not fix them. Getting people out of them does
Nah come on man, a few more lanes will fix everything. We just need to replace all of the walkable sidewalks with more lanes and parking lots.
Tbh Idont believe even 10% of this would actually be implemented and successfull
How do you think transportation would like in 2050?
@@FUTUREDTECH Most cities in the world by then should have realised the effects of urban sprawl, and have invested in walkable, bikable cities with extensive public transport networks. Densely populated Countries like India, Japan and Germany will have many high speed rail projects either built or in the works. High speed rail will replace short haul flights in most countries. Fossil fuel cars will have mostly been phased out by now and replaced by electric cars. Cars would only really be used by enthusiasts, people who need them for their jobs and taxis. Super sonic planes might be in use by then as well. 30 years isn't that much so no FTL type space ships or anything.
How do you the world look like in 2050, it's not going to be the fucking same.
@@nhngzz_ Air taxis can be effect some around in 2030.
Just get me the cars that drive themselves while I can lie down and chill I'd be quite happy with that.
Way too optimistic on some things here:
- Hyperloop is a highly questionable transportation concept in early development. Even if it proves itself to be effective, it'll take way longer than 2050 for it to replace high-speed rail (which continues to improve as well) in most urban areas. On top of this, The Boring Company still has hardly any projects to its name IIRC.
- Gyroscopic buses sound like an engineering and safety nightmare that will become utterly pointless once highways see less use due to the aforementioned high-speed railways as well as increased bike / scooter usage. I hadn't even heard of gyroscopic buses before this video, and it's easy to see why.
- While I love Starship and SpaceX, I don't see Earth-to-Earth as a viable transportation method once supersonic / hypersonic aircraft become prelevant in the industry. At some point you're shaving off half an hour of time for an extreme price increase, so at best it'll be an extremely niche market for the uber-wealthy. Starship to the Moon and Mars? Absolutely. Earth-to-Earth? Not so much.
- While the fantasy for space elevators is wonderful to play with, in practice they'll already be obsolete by ~2030 if Starship achieves mass production & low operating cost. At the end of the day, same problem as the gyroscopic bus except magnified tenfold.
I wouldn't be so confident on that last point, space elevators are the holy grail of cheap space travel. Though it's doubtful we'll get to see one in our life times.
Even though Hyperloop is one of the most questionable topics of the video, I see it as one of the most realistic ones of it. Some of the others presented are exagerated massively
I love how your speaking on this as if it’s fact. How do u know certain transportation won’t be developed.
@@ander4163 Hyperloop is likely the least realistic. Creating a vacuum or partial vacuum in hundreds to thousands of miles of tunnels is so unbelievable impractical. They're also a terrorist's wet dream, one hole and the entire thing is fucked.
I massively disagree with your point on space elevators, they would be the absolutely 100% best way to get anything into space.
It's crazy how the world is changing
not me
i can expect a better world
Except it's not.
@@katjerouac you say on a digital device that 50 years ago would have been considered ludicrous Sci fi
It’s crazy to think that for all of human history except for the last 300-500 years people pretty much lived in a world that the same as their grandparents and their grandparents’ grandparents
I think Hyperloops and the tunnels of the boring company are very inefficient compared to high speed rail and conventional metros
I also expect hyperloops to be highly expensive
The Hyperloop idea is from 1799. It sounded cool then, it sounds dumb now. Too expensive and too dangerous.
Agree, it's definitely investment-heavy. What do you think is the best solution?
Actually the hyper loop is at it’s beginning and is transforming
YESSSS THAANK YOU FINALLY NOT SOMEONE SAYING HAHSGEJSBFRUZBYS ELON MUSK IS THE BEST
@@jre353seriesenjoyer4 actually Elon musk IS the best
A lot of these are not going to happen - they're mostly just marketing stunts. Like the rocket city-to-city travel (way too inefficient, unsafe, not actually that much faster if you include boarding/unboarding), flying cars/taxis (way too inefficient, unsafe), hyperloop (unpractical, too expensive), space elevator (way too dangerous/accident prone).
Could be true, but there is definitely going to be innovation in the transport sector in the not to distant future.
The rockets are probably a pipe dream but I wouldn't count the others out of the game entirely yet
Flying cars should be electric and autonomous. There, now they’re practical.
Have you seen the progress with SpaceX in the past year? It’s amazing! Don’t doubt the elongated muskrat…
@@dlazo32696 What about the rotor noise? Even tiny drones are too loud. Nobody wants to hear constant loud noise outside their windows.
I like how he talks with such confidence as if he came from the future and is 100% sure.
Imagine being poor in 2050…
Overwhelmingly optimistic.
Change of modes of mass transportation will be slow and not universal access the globe.
2050: New means of transportation taking people from one continent to another in a matter of minutes.
Viruses: What a wonderful time to be alive!
I HAVE FOUND THAT 1 channel that quenches all my "of the future is going to be awesome" thirst.
Amazing content my bro, loving it!
I dont know about the boring company, it just seems like a waste of space excuse for a metro subway that only rich people can afford to use
I sure hope this happens in my lifetime.
it will unless if you’re 60 or older
Me too
Narrator: It didn't
They are almost all wet fantasies, and will stay that way.
@@akyhne you mean being worked on today
Because of the economic crisis and the rate of unemployment, now is the best time to invest and make money 💯
You can say that again
Cry`pto is the new gold
Stocks are good but Crypto is better
Yeah sure,I heard Alot about investments with Mr Frederick Ried and how good he is, please how safe are the profits
I have also been trading with him, profits are secured and over a 100 percent return on investment
You could talk about the Spanish high speed railway, their future projects and the problems and benefits of of the railway
How many of these predictions will pan out? It would be fruitful to go back to 1990 and assess how many of the optimistic predictions that were made then panned out.
Well, if I had to speculate:
- Starship for inter-planetary travel, but not Earth-to-Earth unless it's for military purposes / the uber-wealthy.
- Hopefully loads more high-speed rail in the West, it's really a matter of getting it built at this point IMO.
- Autonomous vehicles, though safety regulations will probably see them in limited use even in 2050 (for good reason).
- Supersonic aircraft, because you just know airlines will eat them up (and already are) once they're quieter.
- Speaking of which, electric aircraft for short-range air travel. Hard to know if hydrogen will pan out for medium-long range, but short-range will be electric all the way.
- Electric boats, because they're actually pretty reasonable once you think about it (plenty of room for batteries, get plenty of sun, don't need to travel extremely fast etc.)
- Delivery robots, but mostly ground-based outside of niche aerial applications in rural areas.
And how many things that could not even be imagined then now exist.
Personally the thought of a gyroscopic bus is terrifying, I’d be scared of it falling on my car while I’m driving.
25-50% wont happen, history shows.
I want to keep all the Amtrak trains all year and every year.
Whilst I am all for .. 2050 is very ambitious for all this .. the A303 tunnel won’t even be granted planning permission yet 😂
if only half of this happens 2050 will be great
please use metric system, thank you
It would be so cool if we manage to send ourselves as information encoded in beams of light to some bionic bodies in space by the year 2050 😂
Imagine the wifi disconnected in the middle of the transfer, and you lost half of your body cuz of that
Eventually I believe humans will die but electronic versions will remain which can be beemed to other planets. I see a light shining up to the solar system in my dream
Looks so futuristic but I’m 1000% sure it ain’t coming that soon at all
Can you make more videos like this. I enjoy them so much 😁❤️
Yes. They are really fascinating aren’t they?
Great video indeed! What would you like to see more of?
Your videos are amazing, can you make more frequent?
I hope this video will get recommended in the future by CZcams
i could watch these all day
I’m wondering how fast and long will Hyper Loop take to go from say Los Angeles to say Maine and or Boston???
Hopefully I will be alive to see all these changes! I am 24 years old in 2021
I won’t be satisfied until somebody makes me one of them fancy planes to replace my cattle trailer
I want traditional rail trains.
I am so excited to see those vehicles in near future.
100% which one are you most looking forward to?
@@FUTUREDTECH hyperloop :)
I want to keep all the trains all year and every year.
I want to keep all the Amtrak all year and every year.
This is how I imagine Brazil.
good because brazil is awesome
How? No offense but Brazil is 20-30 years behind.
I've lived and traveled to Brazil 🇧🇷 but the government & infrastructure impedes Brazil from growing.
@@axxessmundi For some reason when I comment "This is how I imagine Brazil." I get a lot of likes.
This is Brazil 🇧🇷
@@axxessmundi what are you talking about the video is in Brazil
Can you talk about the labrador to newfoundland tunnel for one of your next videos?
In 1960 some had the same expectations about 30 yrs later and now 60 yrs later we'll you get the point.
This channel is one of the coolest channel on CZcams
You shld keep uploading videos like these
Pretty excited about 2050s’ aviation.
I think you are right with the electric scooters. The rest is just a fantasy ;-)
Why don't you mention metric units for the rest of the world as well?
I would love to be able to understand how it is videos are produced and this is overlooked or neglected because I simply can't make sense of it at all.
Sequel to "The World in 2050"
You just gave me a tad bit of hope/optimism with this video
I suspect Knowledge Hub's video about this in 2050 will be like the ones he's made in the past year, about videos in 1990 predicting 2020.
My take:
Boring tunnels for cars will not solve the problem. We should build more pedestrian and cycle friendly cities with good reliable and fast public transport and plan the city in a way that most stuff is walking distance. In Europe a lot of cities are doing it, a city for people and not cars.
Hyperloop still had to prove it is a doable and sustainable technology. Until than I remain really sceptical.
Flying cars seem impractical, because in case of an incident there is a lot of damage and maybe even deaths. Drones will probably be used more, but we will see how much.
Rockets earth to earth is also to much uncertainly
When it’s going to be completed?
I don't believe in the feasibility of boring tunnel pods or hyperloops as very widely spread means of transportation. Very costly transportation infrastructure has to be efficient to be worth while investing in, therefore I think expansion of many kinds of trains and bus systems are feasible but not the individualistic kind of "pod" systems akin to boring tunnels.
The cost of tunneling is decreasing and will continue to do so.
When you look how they though our future computer or phone will be in 1980, when you see these film now, you smile. And in 2050, this video will make us smile. We will have antigravity and moooore, 2025-2030
I'm am so excited for 2050. I would love to ride on the air taxis in the skyies.
Okay, I only lasted two minutes before I couldn't keep a straight face anymore. So many ideas... so many of them ridiculous and impractical.
I think the future is more crazy than we could ever predict
Love this!
In a more realistic way
1.Good Countries will have every major city connected with driverless highspeed railway.
2.Elctricity or hydrogen will be dominant energy source.
3.We will trying to create self sustaining colonies on MOON or MARS(As private players are always better than Govt entities)
4.Domestic air travel will reduce dramatically due to remote working and high speed railway.
5. Automation will be on full swing and unemployment will be a big issue.
these new cars look very smooth
Why do people believe Elons worse versions of trains and subways will ever work?
self driving cars in thin tunnels will work great.
Please up video quality to 4k60fps, or at least 4k! :)
What year it’s going to be completed?
Nice video.
You are correct that Yara Birkeland is a ship that that is Norwegian, but it is NOT autonomous yet. They are still working on it, and if everything goes well it might be autonomous in a couple of years at best.
It never hurts to dream about future, why not?😊
Every segment in this video was a bit more pie-in-the-sky than the last, and that's saying something because even the first one was unrealistic
Cool 👍
Can’t wait to have self driving cars I like the ground more than the air it’ll be good being able to drive around and not have to worry about running reds now can you do a vid about medical advancemts by this time and tech as well that would be cool.
It's amazing
No mention of how urban mobility is expected to become so cycle-centric. UK government explicitly mentions their disliking of ride hailing apps and mass vehicular transportation.
Make a video on future wars...how people will go crazy on power!!
I can’t decide which is better. History or futurology
The future of the transportation will be better planes, better trains and better roads.
What a great time to be alive
yes I am lokking forward to it
awesome ❤️😍
I don’t really know about air taxis. Why the heck would anyone waste energy on flying, if you can move on wheels a lot more effectively or even better on rails
Those people back in the 40’s when they predicted that we would have flying cars by 2021…
cute, space age water freight carriers, carrying old dinosaur freight bins.
They should a build machine where you can access a memory from the past and live in the moment for couple minutes or so
Your best video yet; it gives me hope. BUT, I gotta say, we’ll be lucky to see half of these come to fruition.
"san Francisco to LA will be 12 mins
americans : finnaly inner peace
Did yur voice changed it sounds more deep
Also since today yur transitions of telling different categories are changed
Can ya bring the old manner back.
Like yu did with Madrid and all the other videos
This is so hilarious🙂
By 2050, jetpacks will also be making a comeback, as will glass elevators
I love this video
So some of this is very possible Air Taxis and ROBO Busses definitely I could see that over the head transport working with that design really cool and effecient! ..But the Air Loop and Fast trains would be so costly maybe a 150 years before something that big could even start to take shape.
With what sheep, efficient, green energy?
Love how Australia misses out on those flights XD we’ll still be trying to decide whether to wear thongs or steel caps
METRIC PLEASE!
Yes all the future transportations.
Humanity will be barely surviving in 2050...
Hope I get a glimpse of it,but hey it’s been a great time so far ✈️🚄🚘
Yeah! I'm not sure if you've noticed, but technology sure is slowly starting to look a little bit futuristic right now as of 2022! ESPECIALLY when it comes to cars! Because of this, I feel like ever since the 2020s started, I feel like we've OFFICIALLY started the begging of futurism, so I have a good feeling that at least half of the things he said are gonna happen by the year 2050! 😱😁
Wow I can't believe some of the amazing feats of engineering I'll experience in my lifetime. Not to sound morbid or anything but I could very possibly die on another planet 🤔
edit: spelling
Nah bro, you will die on earth, at most the moon
Always when we predict the future we get it wrong.
this is, at best, idealistic.
Space elevator will be more likly in 3050
This are more like 2100 technologies not 2050s. Maybe some of the electric car stuff but definitely not the rest.
What about future of energy ?
How can we help make these projects reality faster?
