Cars of the Future - Development Prospects

Purpose: The main goal of the scientific paper is to analyse and synthesize trends, advancements, and forecasts in automotive design and technology over the next 30 years, focusing on the transition to electric, hydrogen-powered, and autonomous vehicles while addressing sustainability and infrastructure development. Methodology: The basis for the analysis and synthesis of the conclusions presented in the article was statistical information collected from available sources and reports, as well as the reflections based on research conducted, among others, at the Motor Transport Institute in Warsaw. The basic research methods are synthesis, analysis, and inference. Available source materials from Polish and international statistical and ministerial institutions and specialist transport journals were analysed. Findings: Cars of the future will soon combine advanced technologies, including solutions from space technologies. Ecological drive and comfort of use. There will be electrification of shows, kore will dominate thanks to the development of large-capacity batteries, short charging times and increased availability of charging stations. In commercial vehicles, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles will gain popularity. Autonomous systems using artificial intelligence will also be added to this. Practical Implications: Practical implications: Many detailed threads have only been mentioned and await further development. The Motor Transport Institute in Warsaw is a leading research center in Poland whose research and suggestions are taken into account by global and European automotive concerns. Originality/Value: A synthetic study illustrating the cars of the future in the coming 30 years was found to be lacking. The paper analyses the development of automotive design, covering forecasts for the development of car transport worldwide and its prospects in the coming years.
