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. Electric cars 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 in that drunk and distracted drivers will never have to take control of the wheel.
