Most of the car designers agree with the fact that a basic change in automobile technology is soon going to be required for the future crowded mega cities. Bubble cars By the year 2030, over 60% of the population of the world may be residing in cities. 50% of them would have cars. Due to certain points, it is clear that different and small vehicles will be in great demand in future. The reasons behind this demand may include the lessened emissions, a big scarcity of land for transportation etc. That is why many car designers are thinking of making vehicles which were known over fifty years ago. These were the bubble cars.

These bubble cars were manufactured with the purpose of offering cheap personal transport. Most of these bubble cars were two-seaters and possessed only 3 wheels. Such vehicles became famous when the prices of fuel increased in 1956 because of the Suez crisis. One such popular vehicle was the Iso Isetta which was Italy made. Germany was a generative builder. Messerschmitt and Heinkel decided not to continue with their earlier business of manufacturing military aircraft. They decided to step into the trade of bubble cars. Meanwhile, BMW re-designed the Isetta and used an engine from one of their motorcycles.

Incidents like the increasing incomes, declining prices of fuel and changing trends gave birth to the original bubble cars but the idea transformed into several other effective forms and now three new versions called Electric Networked-Vehicles, are captivating the crowds at the Expo 2010 which is being held there at Shanghai. These versions can be driven in a normal form or can be operated autonomously and that too when their occupants are busy doing several other things. These cars can also avoid bumping into each other, automatically. These vehicles are equipped with the feature of being summoned from their places of parking. This is possible through the use of mobile phone. These are driven electrically instead of being driven by petrol. are balanced on only 2 wheels. These 3 EN-Vs were made by a partnership between General Motors and Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation.
