Cars can be considered the worst form of transportation on the environment when considering the amount of people owning and driving vehicles. The best form of transportation on the environment is obviously use is the body's natural capabilities by walking or riding a bike. However, this is not always possible as suburbs continue expanding.
The future concept cars are designed to give zero pollution operating on air and magnetic. According to chemicallygreen.com electric vehicles are becoming a thing of the past as concerns are evident in the cars ability to run over an 8 hour period.

Air Powered Car

"This car, however, runs on air. Or at least, it can run all day (or night!) on a pint of gasoline and lots of air, and double the Toyota Prius’ top total, hitting an astounding 106 mpg. This car can compress more air using whatever fuel is available and will take almost anything! Until the automotive industry adopts and pours money into radical projects like this, they may all just be hot air."

Magnetic Air Car
"Who would have thought that combining air and magnets could be a combination that could beat gasoline? This isn’t a fuel-efficient vehicle. Rather, this is a fuel-less vehicle. It’s currently just a prototype, but at the moment this “Magnetic Air Car” will use use on-board substations to harness air, then channeling and modulating this air to produce torque which will propel the car. The car uses a battery, presumably one that requires charging occasionally, but with production due to start in 2010, it may not be long we all have to get the crowbars out to free two magnetic cars stuck together getting a little too close".
