Taking great leaps, or stuck in the present?

The future will hold a seemingly infinite number of fields of science. Pioneers will be born every day, and the new technologies and possibilities provided will drastically change every aspects of our lives. But today, however, it seems, sometimes, that we aren't pushing the boundaries enough. Science is focused today too much on three fields: transportation, energy, and sustainability. Granted, these three are possibly three of the most important fields of knowledge and research that exist or have ever existed, but would it not be better to simply find a viable solution and move on? There are many problems to overcome, and much value can be added to our society by not saturating the environment with too many extravagant solutions to few hurdles. With this in mind, here is one of the best solutions to urban transportation that I have seen theorized yet. Now lets adopt this, and get crackin on elective prosthetics, human genetic transmogrification, and corneal video databanking.
