Abstract :
For years the vision for futuristic vehicles has being in the mind of many engineers. Nonetheless, the combination of many old thoughts and ideas has played a significant role to modern day vehicles as well a major foundation to futuristic vehicles. Improvements to the early vehicle are what will create the futuristic vehicle. The search for better motors and clean efficient energy is well under way. To enhance the understanding of these technologies, it is best to recognize the history of cars. It is also important to realize the major effects the DC and AC motors have with today´s vehicles. The importance of energy sources has to also be taken into consideration. Many different types of batteries have been introduced as sources. These batteries have their advantages as well as disadvantages. Some of these disadvantages include chemicals that, if mixed, can be corrosive. However, research is now in progress to reduce these types of problems
