This blog prides itself on keeping readers aware of what’s coming around the bend. In the future, elevators will not be quite as luxurious or user-friendly as they are now, as you can see by these prototypes being tested by policemen.
The two elevators on the left are going up. The ones on the right are going down. These are local elevators, which is why they have ropes, unlike the express Elevators of the Future, which will not. Of course, if the Elevator of the Future doesn’t appeal to you, you can always stick with the Stairway of the Future, seen here being tested by the dude on the far right.
