Remember when hoverboards were trending around 2016 and you’d always see hoverboard fail compilations on YouTube where people in their mid thirties try to ride their kid’s hoverboards and fail? Yeah, why did that trend fade away so quickly? Don’t we know that it could be the next way of transportation?
That’s right. Who needs cars? Do your car wheels glow in the dark? No, it’s probably illegal! Do you know what glows in the dark and isn’t illegal? Hoverboards. All you need to do is lean in any direction and you’ll send off. It’s way more simple, fun, and safe than cars.
Think about it. If we created reinforced, high power hoverboards that could take you miles, it would have numerous benefits. For instance, you’d get way more sun than being trapped in a car.
Our collective society needs to go outside for a change, and would thrive in the nostalgia of riding a hoverboard. Hoverboard your way to Starbucks instead of DoorDashing.
You also wouldn’t need to worry about all the measures of operating a car, as well as risks involved. The worst that could happen to you if everyone had hoverboards is scraped legs and maybe some other injuries from fighting the stranger who ran into you. It’s not like you could get crushed or be launched very far by a hoverboard.
Traffic laws would be significantly less limiting because of the fact that there is less danger and property damage from riding hoverboards. There’d be less stops, and more riding freely.
If necessary, we could probably have a bracelet that makes your hoverboard light up to indicate specific maneuvers, as well as tell you how fast you’re going.
If we replaced all cars with hoverboards, way more people could fit onto roads. But what about passengers? Of course, hoverboards would likely be cheaper than cars, so everyone has more of an opportunity to be able to be on the road. We could also likely lower the driving age as well, maybe to about 8? Now you won’t have your friend bothering you about giving you rides.
However, what about the babies on board? You can’t add an attachment to the hoverboard, it would throw off the balance. That’s why you buy those baby carriers. Now you don’t need to be irrationally anxious about whether or not your kid is in the backseat.
Finally, the question that’s been itching you the most. If we’re making getting to places accessible to more people, what about people who can’t use their legs? The solution is rather simpler than you think.
Think wheelchairs. But… hoverboards. Hoverchair, if you will. As long as your legs are the only part of your body that’s paralyzed, you can still maintain balance. It’s perfect.
Overall, hoverboards are way more viable for transportation than cars. It’d also be way easier to develop actually hovering hoverboards than flying cars. We’d be so close to recreating Subway Surfers.
