Are you the future of transportation? Send us your sketches and designs

If you're an inventor at heart, we want to see your ideas for what planes, trains, cars, bikes and boats might look like 50 to 100 years from now

Machines that can propel themselves on the road or in the air while carrying passengers were once a fantasy that only existed in the minds and sketchbooks of inventors like Leonardo da Vinci and the Wright brothers. Now, they're an everyday reality, dramatically changing where and how people live and work.

Many big ideas that have transformed life as we know it started out as simple renderings. Could you be the next Thomas Edison or Nikola Tesla? For our series on the future of transportation, we want to see your ideas about what cars, bikes, trains, ships and airplanes - or even hoverboards - might look like 50 or 100 years from now. Your concept can be as simple as a single vehicle or even a piece of a vehicle or as complex as a new traffic system or reimagined transportation plan for your city or town.
