Future Transport More than 16 million of us commute by car to work every day with the average driver spending 124 hours annually stuck in gridlock. A report by the Centre For Business and Economic Research warns that increased congestion will cost the UK economy £307 billion by 2030 - but - there’s a personal cost too. Radical new plans to get our transport systems back on track include high speed railways, super cycle highways and even driverless vehicles will start test runs in the New Year. Tonight investigates what’s wrong with our transport systems and what future travel options could be. We go to Heathrow airport to try out some of the exciting new technology on four wheels and have a go on an Airwheel (with just two or even one wheel!) which is helping us to whizz around from A-B more quickly. We speak to the Government about why they are backing the testing of driverless cars on our roads from early 2015 and ask questions of how they are supposed to ease congestion by keeping traffic flowing and are they safe?
