I-WTM: Izikhombisi zokuhambela phambili ngokuzayo

Ukucabanga kwenyanga kanye nama-photovoltaics athuthukisiwe bekuphakathi kwemishwana engeyona eyokuhamba ebeka ithoni yosuku lokuvula lwalo nyaka. Ukuhambela Phambili e-World Travel Market (WTM).

Amandla kaBecky kusuka ku-Google iqale ingqungquthela yezinsuku ezimbili ngokuchaza ukuthi inkampani engumzali yakwaGoogle Alphabet wenze ngokusemthethweni ukucabanga kwesithombe sayo esikhulu ngaphansi kophiko lwebhizinisi olubizwa ngokuthi X.

Ngesikhathi esethula, wethule “ukucabanga kwenyanga” njengencazelo yokuthi i-Google, X kanye nenkampani engumzali bakwenza kanjani lokhu. Ukwenza umqondo ube ngokoqobo, wakhuluma ngawo AmaLabhu Wama-Sidewalk, iyunithi enikezelwe emadolobheni ahlakaniphile. Inhloso yalebhu “ukuphinda ucabange ukuthi amadolobha asebenza kanjani, ukuhlela, abantu, izinqubo kanye nobuchwepheshe kungasebenzisana kanjani ukuze kwakhiwe izindawo zokuhlala nezokusebenzela ezingcono”.

I-Sidewalk ibhekisisa ukuthi izimoto ezizimele nezizishayelayo zingashintsha kanjani indawo edingekayo yokugcina imoto, ukuthi izinto ezintsha kanye nomklamo kunganciphisa kanjani izindleko zokwakha izakhiwo zokuhlala nezohwebo, ukuthi ukusimama kungafakwa kanjani kunoma yisiphi isinqumo kanye nendima yedatha kanye ukuxhumana.

I-Sidewalk isivele isebenza namadolobha afana ne-Toronto ukuthuthukisa ikusasa lezindawo zasemadolobheni ukuze libe ngcono.

U-Power wabe esekwazi ukwenza uhlaka lwendlela yokubuka inyanga yezethameli zokuhamba nezokungenisa izihambi. Uphakamise ukuthi uma inkinga isitholakele, izinkampani zezokuvakasha kumele ziqhamuke nesixazululo sesikhathi eside sale nkinga, zisebenzisane nabantu abanomqondo ofanayo, zibheke ubuchwepheshe obusha futhi zikwazi ukuba nesakhiwo esivumela ukuhlola ngokushesha. .

Okwamanje, UHarj Dhaliwal kusukela IVirgin Hyperloop One, ichaze inkolelo-mbono nokusebenza kobuchwepheshe be-hyperloop nokuthi bunamandla kanjani okuphazamisa ukuhamba ngokunciphisa kakhulu izikhathi zokuxhumanisa iphuzu nephoyinti ngesivinini sayo esiphezulu esingaphezu kwamakhilomitha ayi-1000 ngehora.

Ubuchwepheshe buhlanganisa izinto ezintsha eziyinhlanganisela kanye ne-levitation kazibuthe ethuthukisiwe kanye nezinhlelo zokuhambisa. Ama-capsules ahamba ngaphakathi komhubhe owakhiwe, lapho i-vacuum yenziwa khona ukunciphisa ukumelana. Iziyalo ezidingekayo ukuze kulethwe lokhu zihlanganisa ukugcinwa kwamandla kusetshenziswa ama-photovoltaics, isayensi yezinto zokwakha kanye nokuhamba okuzenzakalelayo. Izivivinyo eziyimpumelelo sezivele zenzekile, okubonisa ukuthi kungase kungabi isikhathi eside ngaphambi kokuba leli libe yithuba langempela lokuhamba.

NjengaMandla ngaphambili, u-Dhaliwal waphikisa ngokuthi i-hyperloop inamandla okushintsha kakhulu indlela esithuthukisa ngayo amadolobha. Ukhulume ngezinhlelo ezidingidwa eNdiya, ezizobona i-hyperloop ithuthukiswa eduze kwengqalasizinda yesitimela ekhona, ukunciphisa isikhathi sokuxhuma phakathi kwePune neMumbai ukusuka emahoreni amathathu nesigamu kuya kumizuzu engama-25.

Ikhono le-hyperloop lokuphazamisa ukuhamba kwezindiza ngokunikeza izikhathi zohambo ezimfushane kakhulu kuwumthelela osobala kakhulu ongaba nawo ekuhambeni, kodwa u-Dhaliwal waphinde wakhuluma “ngezikhumulo zezindiza ezihamba phambili”, ezidalwe lapho izikhumulo zezindiza ezimbili edolobheni elifanayo zixhunywa nge-hyperloop. Izikhumulo zezindiza, uthe, zingaba zincane ngemigwaqo yezindiza embalwa uma lokhu kuxhumana kwe-hyperloop phakathi kwazo kungasebenza.

Izindleko zephrojekthi kuze kube manje, kanye nenani lamathikithi abahambi, azizange zithintwe, eminye imibuzo evela phansi ibuza ngezindleko zokuthathwa komhlaba kanye nokuthengwa kukahulumeni.

URichard Gayle UMqondisi Omkhulu, iTravel Forward, uthe: “Lesi kube yisiqalo esiqinile sengqungquthela, ekhuthaza abazohambela lo mcimbi ukuthi babheke ngaphandle kwemboni ukuze bathole ugqozi.

“Kube kuhle ukuthi izethameli zizwe ngezinye zezinhlelo ezenziwa yinkampani engumzali wakwa-Google, nokuthi isimo sayo sengqondo sokuxazulula izinkinga ezinkulu singanikeza kanjani izinkampani zezokuvakasha indlela yokubhekana nezinkinga zazo.

"Ngokufanayo, ithonya elingaba khona le-Hyperloop One liyisikhumbuzo sokuthi ukuhamba nobuchwepheshe akukaze kume."
