Updated May 22, 2023 Introduction:
The future is here in that many of the new transportation devices that we see or read about today actually were someone's dreams and theories decades ago, thus the 'Reviewed' in the title. Books like Popular Mechanics, movies like Star Trek, and television shows like Buck Rogers and Captain Video and the Video Rangers are the inspiration for many of today's dreamers and their inventions.

The future is here in that many of the new transportation devices that we see or read about today actually were someone's dreams and theories decades ago, thus the 'Reviewed' in the title. Books like Popular Mechanics, movies like Star Trek, and television shows like Buck Rogers and Captain Video and the Video Rangers are the inspiration for many of today's dreamers and their inventions. Energy:
We have for decades been tied to one or two primary energy source for our cooking, heating, cooling, communications, and transportation. This is now changing as we create new methods of providing energy and eliminating pollution. This manual provides the reader with a host of current and possible future energy generation means that can be mostly to totally 'Green' and pollution free. Government:
Government regulation is for some an intrusion on their rights, but is it. Most of the taxation is used for our protection and for improving our lives and most of the regulations are for our personal and financial safety. The manual has a small chapter on how our government is helping and protecting us from ourselves when we travel. Current Transportation:
Current transportation using many means of travel is not as safe as it could be, and the transportation of the future can be made much safer. Current transportation is costly and is depleting not just our pocketbooks, but also our life spans. This manual will explain much of what you need to know about the cost and the ways you are in jeopardy. Slow is Slow is S l o w:
Current transportation is slow in comparison to what it can and should be. We are losing trillions of dollars in wasted time, energy, work, and product due to the slowness of our transportation systems and the many instances when it comes to a complete halt. This too is covered in this important document on the future and past of public and individual transportation. Future Transportation:
The chapter on future transportation is based on current experimental and prototype research that is going on in various parts of the world. The author has traveled to Europe and Asia as well as other nations over his lifetime and sees the past as well as the future developments of these nations. Unfortunately, the US seems to be lacking the initiative and the goals that it needs or will need in the future for sustainability. References:
The manual has been highly researched by the author (me) and there are dozens of great references to the topic matters being discussed. Thus, this manual can be the catalyst to your thinking about the future and your possible future transportation needs so that you can research better and faster for your needs. Pictures:

There are two Table of Contents, the first is for the primary group of topics, and the second TOC is offered in an appendix for fine-tuning the topics. The index is substantial and allows for finding individual words or topics. Suitable For Reading by:
This manual is designed to be used by readers aged from preteens to senior adults and may be adopted as a classroom educational guide. It is designed to be a good general background of what is and needs to be, and thus should peak your interest in the future of transportation and how to make America the absolute leader in future transportation.
