How Will We Get Around Near-Future Earth?

Slob Nerd points to this BBC article on future transport possibilities. It begins "The prospect of a revolution in air travel has been raised by Nasa's successful test of a 5,000mph plane. But are we likely to see similar advances in other forms of transport? Dusting off the crystal ball, what changes might come in the way we get around? What big ideas are out there, and do they have any chance of seeing the light of day?"

The Wheelman is much cooler.

The wheelman is faster, cheaper, and has a greater operating range than the Segway. It is even very, very safe, so long as you would consider riding a skateboard at 20 MPH on asphault wearing nothing more than a bikini "safe".
