昔の人が思い描いた未来の車
「Air Drive」
技術革新によりハイブリッドなどの環境への負荷を低減させたり、衝突回避システムなど安全に貢献するテクノロジーは進化しましたが、タイヤの摩擦を使って移動するという原則はいまだに変わっていません。
これからの10年、50年で車はどのように進化していくんでしょうかね？
Flying-Car Photos Imagine the Future We Were All Promised
The flying car is a symbol of fantastical, futuristic optimism colliding with reality. It’s shorthand for our inability to predict the future and our simultaneous refusal to stop, even in the face of our incompetence. We dream about driving flying cars in childhood and never outgrow the fantasy of their existence no matter how well we understand the obstacles.
That’s why French photographer Renaud Marion‘s series Air Drive is spreading fast on the interwebs. The photos of everyday cars hovering on the ground without wheels take viewers into the alternate reality that never was and might never be.
“When I was a child, and as many children, I was dreaming that we would have flying cars and I was truly believing that we would get to that,” Marion says.
Though there has been some movement toward a viable flying car, the prototypes so far are nowhere near as effortless and graceful as the cars portrayed in Back to the Future or The Jetsons. The company Terrafugia is inching toward getting the Transition on the road. It’s sometimes been called less a flying car and more a drivable airplane, but it’s still one of the closest things we have to people waking up in the morning and transitioning from the streets of their neighborhood to the skies overhead.
