# Auto-Pilot Eco Cars Christian Forg's 'Speedway' Will Travel On Magnetic Highways By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2009-07-25 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christian-forg-speedway References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2009/07/24/speed-away-on-speedway/) & [christian-foerg.de](http://www.christian-foerg.de/) If Christian Förg's 'Speedway' concept evolves into production, we might be looking at a transportation future that doesn't involve driving. Christian Förg's 'Speedway' relies upon highways and roads embedded with [linear motors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mag-drive). [Electric cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/theory-1) could then be propelled along these roads using a drifting magnetic field. While this poses a threat to individuals who truly enjoy driving, it also makes our [roads slightly safer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polis) in that drunk and distracted drivers will never have to take control of the wheel. Check out photos and video of Christian Förg's 'Speedway' design above. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Auto-pilot Eco Cars:** The future of transportation might be autonomous and eco-friendly with magnetic highways. - **Linear Motor Embedded Highways:** Linear motor embedded highways could revolutionize transportation and infrastructure. - **Safer Road Transport:** Removing human error from driving could make our roads safer. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Automotive & Transportation:** The automotive industry can explore the possibilities of autonomous eco-friendly cars and magnetized highways for infrastructure development. - **Infrastructure & Construction:** The construction and infrastructure industry can invest in creating linear motor embedded highways for more efficient and safe road transportation. - **Innovative Technology:** Developing linear motor technology could enable disruptive innovation in the automotive and infrastructure industries. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Streamlined Two-Seater Electric Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-electric-car-concept.md) - [Open-Air Autonomous Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polestar-adaptor.md) - [Steering Wheel-Free Autonomous Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/innerspace.md) - [Solar-Powered Autonomous Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polestar-cladrus.md) - [Fully Autonomous Crossover SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dkm-20.md) - [Electric Hot Rod Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-hot-rod.md) - [Solar-Powered Autonomous Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-vehicle-concept.md) - [Oversized Well-Appointed Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-urbansphere-concept.md) - [Swedish Electric Road Highways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trafikverket.md)
