Kids dream of flying cars while adults bet on robots for a tech-driven future

A new survey reveals strong optimism about technology's role in shaping the future, particularly among children. Many young respondents expressed excitement for innovations like self-driving cars and space travel, while adults also recognised the potential benefits of robots and sustainable transport solutions.

The findings show that 65% of children believe technology can improve the world, especially in areas like manufacturing (59%) and education (56%). A significant 72% of children aged 6-10 want to see self-driving electric vehicles (cars) become a reality. Meanwhile, 51% of children dream of flying cars, and 17% even imagine travelling to space via public transport.

Robots also captured attention, with 55% of children under 12 finding the idea of robots handling chores appealing. Among adults, 47% see robots as useful in fields like scientific research, healthcare, and transportation. Nearly four in 10 adults are open to interacting with robots in daily life, reflecting growing acceptance of automation.

Sustainability concerns also emerged, as 38% of Brits think technology can make transport more eco-friendly. Additionally, 62% of British respondents acknowledge technology's role in their personal mobility, while 51% of adults overall believe tech advancements are crucial for societal progress.

Despite enthusiasm, current industry plans—such as Hyundai's 2026 investments in autonomous driving—remain focused on electric vehicles rather than fully autonomous or flying cars. Over 80 new EV models are expected by 2026, but none yet confirm advanced autonomy or flight capabilities.

The survey highlights a clear generational interest in futuristic transport and automation. Children show particular enthusiasm for self-driving cars and flying vehicles, while adults recognise robots' practical applications. As technology evolves, these preferences may influence future developments in mobility and sustainability.
