From autonomous public transportation systems that aim to make accessibility a priority to mass charging stations for electric vehicles, the top November 2017 transportation ideas explore the acceleration of forward-thinking technologies.
When it comes to making transportation more accessible to the masses, companies like Uber are leading the way with programs like uberASSIST, and an update to its app that shares simple sign language tips so that passengers and drivers may better communicate with one another.
When it comes to air travel, airline companies are giving out virtual reality headsets and even lavish in-flight pillow menus as a means of optimizing a passenger's comfort. German airline Lufthansa has also introduced 'FlyingLab' as a means of offering entertaining, educational in-flight sessions on various of-the-moment technologies.
