Doxmo

'Doxmo' originates from the Mexican indigenous language Otomí, and it means skull.
I was inspired mainly by the mammal skulls, because they shelter the 'most important' part of an animal.
Nowadays the inverted pendulum system of some concept vehicles has proved to be feasible technology that could be applied in the near future.
2040 is about 27 years from now, and I don't believe that by then we will be able to fly, or levitate; to me that is not a reasonable option for cars at the moment. I do, however, know that some ideas have been revolting around this concept, but there is much more interest for other rather than spreading new technologies at everyone's ease.
Therefore, this is a two-wheeled electric vehicle, mainly thought for cities and car sharing. It includes one engine on every wheel, and at the center of the vehicle you can find the operating aspects that allow it to stay in balance while moving; it also has a third wheel in front for descending.
The large windscreen will use OLED's so there won't be an need for dashboards. The steering wheel will also disappear by the time mind controlling technology is fully developed in the future [like the 'autoNOMOS car' in Germany).
Materials in the future will certainly be lighter, stronger, and (I hope) finally sustainable ('from cradle to cradle') providing electric vehicles with longer periods between charges.
The structure of the car will be made using the FiDU technology ('Freie Innendruck Umformung': Free internal Pressure forming).

Background:
Population growth will not stop any time soon; thus, by 2040 private cars and public transport as we know them will simply stop being sustainable.
"The cars we drive today follow the same design principles as the Model T of a hundred years ago and the sedans of fifty years ago. In the twenty-first century, cars are well suited for conveying multiple passengers over long distances at high speeds, but inefficient for providing personal mobility within cities, where most people live."**
The continuous development and research for new technology, together with massively expanding social networks, public Wi-Fi, and the exploding bicycle and car sharing ideas, will make vehicles in the future safer, lighter, more intelligent, more sustainable, and available for most citizens around the globe.
Urban or road vehicles will remain a thing of the past if every year we continue to look for new aesthetics, instead of looking for a new transport paradigm.
