The Jetsons predicted a future of flying cars in the year 2062. Will it happen? We already have humanoid robots to design them, at least.
Technology is evolving rapidly, both in implementing AI solutions in startups and in creating things aimed at helping humans in their daily lives.
GITEX Global showcases these things, putting the imagination of the future just a touch and an image away. Now, visiting the various GITEX pavilions located in the Dubai World Trade Center, especially the huge Etisalat Pavilion, allows us to glimpse what the future of humanity will look like in a few years.
Not many years ago, science fiction films showed cars flying over global cities. One of the most prominent examples of this is the animated series “The Jetsons,” and everything that children have experienced for years while it was shown on television.
Although this anime is set in the year 2062, with 100 years passing between then Premiere From the first episode, this future may be drawing near. like? Just look at the latest ideals advanced by Chinese brands, namely Xpeng, and other more ambitious startups: cars capable of spreading wings and flying.
Exactly two years ago, at GITEX Dubai, Xpeng showcased the X2 and its flying capabilities. The trip, which required special permission at the time, was attended by more than 150 participants, followed by a short introduction to the device and its future in the world of mobility.
This year it's the turn of the Xpeng Aeroht, which remains an established prototype. However, a Xpeng spokesperson at the event revealed that the idea is to have a functional prototype available for sale in 2030. It looks a lot like a sports car, but it's its “wings” that are raising eyebrows. After all, who has never dreamed of having propellers hidden in traffic that allow a car to fly?
The suggestion is for this car to take off vertically, with the driver using the Joystick To control all motors up to a height of one thousand metres. Another big surprise is that this flying car will rely only on electric power.
And humans?
Sophia the robot is already history. Human beings are becoming smarter, more independent, and are even able to obtain ID cards.
Something that has been noted in the evolution of these humanoids is the appearance, as the inventors replicated the human appearance in a more realistic way.
This robot in question had a microphone in front of it, giving visitors the opportunity to interact with it. His skills also include drawing, as the pictures below show.
In addition to this humanoid woman, there were others who were less human and provided themselves with less technology. In other words, although they were able to answer questions and shake hands, they moved little or nothing at all.
