Problem Description: The population is increasing at a breakneck pace.Congestd Cities,Polluting Vehicles,Traffic congestion is all caused by this. Besides acting on the reasons for growth and controlling growth, self sustainable devoluted areas need to be built and existing transportation needs to be redesigned, starting from routing to intermodally and clean,safe vehicles. Millions of people die in road accidents and car failures. There is tremendous congestion in urban areas leading to hours long traffic jams, heavy fuel consumption as well as GHG's and Pollutant Emissions. Future of sustainable transportation is intermodal with least delay between disembarking and connecting to another form of transport(public, shared or private). A lot of focus is also being made on space transportation to address future transportation needs as we embark as a population on other planets, satellites or around planetary systems.

Objective: Intermodal Urban and Non-Urban planning of transportation and building transportation Vehicles for the future. To develop a level 4-5 Autonomous Electric/Hydrogen/Solar/Hybrid self healing Cars, Trucks, Amphibious Air Taxis & Off the track driving vehicles to enhance safety, Fuel Consumption and Improve passenger space without using the driver seat and driven wheel and associated charging/Fueling equipment and reduce traffic congestion and accidents. Self driving technology has the potential to make transportation inter modal and multimodal, safe and sustainable. Tackling real world issues in self driving, developments in hardware, software will require different strategies and the way forward would be to gather together and start working on the design and specifications of the entire vehicle. Introduction of Aerospace technologies like Drive by Wire etc. should also be considered. We are looking for participants around the world across functions to build -Cars, Trucks, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and Concept Vehicles to be used on other planets. This project should ultimately make cleaner, safer, better designed vehicles and technology advancements should be done in software, hardware and fifth generation technologies to be used.
