What a good class discussion with my Year 9 this afternoon!

We took some interesting data as to the top speeds that can be achieved by their cars – no, my dear Focus did not go into the conversation – and wondering why cars needed such a speed, if the legal speed is around 120-130 km/h pretty much everywhere in the world. (Yes, Germany is an exception)

So I then asked students to think what new features they should incorporate – in cars, in roads, perhaps even in laws – so that those speeds were accessible, and what the problems are.

We are thinking of the cars of the future.

And some people got there before we did – I just found this series on Discovery Channel called “Future Car“- and it looks certainly interesting! Here are the first 10 minutes of the first episode to get you in the mood…

Now it is your turn – have your say! How do you want your Future Car to be?
