New Ways to Zoom

Zip around town on an electric unicycle—no pedaling required! The V5F is 70 centimeters wide and weighs only as much as a baby stroller. Its thin and foldable design makes it easy to store and carry. The battery-powered unicycle can travel almost 40 kilometers on a single charge.

With the Waymo One ride service, the only humans in the car are passengers! The company has been testing its driverless car service since 2018 in Phoenix, Arizona. It serves an area of almost 260 square kilometers. Waymo aims to make travel via car easier and safer. Riders can even request multiple stops per trip.

The cars use cameras and radar to detect other vehicles and objects and avoid hitting them. Waymo recently began testing a new self-driving service in San Francisco, California.

Richard Browning zooms through the air thanks to a special suit that he invented. Called the Gravity Jet Suit, it looks like a high-tech backpack with jet engine sleeves! The suit includes five engines that allow Browning to zoom up to 90 kilometers per hour.

Browning intends to use his invention for entertainment, not travel. He and his team are organizing a jet suit racing league. Pilots fly through an obstacle course floating on water.

An ultrafast system of pods pushed through tubes might sound like science fiction, but it’s real! A hyperloop is a high-speed transit system that runs underground. It can move people and things from place to place faster than a plane.

The Virgin Hyperloop successfully transported passengers in a 2020 test run. However, it is not fully complete yet. The Virgin Hyperloop only runs in a straight line and cannot turn corners. For now, it transports only cargo, not human passengers. But if this form of high-speed travel can be perfected, people will zoom over land 10 times faster than a typical commuter train.
