The future of transportation is electric but so is making modern taxi cabs independent. We have seen this in futuristic movies and while we feel that they are pointless, it looks like the United Arab Emirates will be the first to put fantasy into reality.

When the system’s fully built, planners say the podcars will be able to deliver riders within 100 meters of any location in the city. The whole network of tracks for the cars will be two stories beneath street level.

These new electric podcars seem to be the new breed of transportation solutions. Featuring compact, driver-less podcars, a network of these compact electric taxis will provide clean and quiet transportation to the city’s residents, as well as commuters. The first PRT cars are set to begin running later this year.
