I think in the future our personal and commercial transport will be a hybrid idea of bus, car and train - modular transport elements that are computer controlled to act synchronously on a guidance system that also provides recharging to each individual module (which can be privately owned, or part of a state-owned module-group, like a bus/train). No accidents, all controlled and powered centrally, powered by nuclear or whatever. Each module could be semi-autonomous like a proper car when going off the grid, but magnetically binds to the one in front and behind like a train when travelling within network. Use of the public modules would be automated - no driver, controlled by either user-selected destination or scheduled prioritized routes.
It would all look a bit like 2advanced, and hot chicks with sharp haircuts would walk about pouting in white body suits.
