Car

Cars are personal and commercial aetho-magnetic vehicles, primarily used for private transport and taxi services. Originally exclusive to Magi, cars became widely available to the middle class from 700, marking a shift toward individual travel. Today, they are a common alternative to trains and buses for short to medium-distance transport.

Design & Function

Aetho-magnetic cars function by suspending the vehicle body above its wheels using a controlled repelling field. The wheels remain in contact with the ground to navigate standard roads, while the levitation system absorbs shocks and stabilises movement. Propulsion is achieved by adjusting the magnetic field’s polarity and intensity, allowing for smooth acceleration and braking without mechanical components.

Usage & Accessibility

Cars are used for both private and public transport, with taxis operating in urban areas. While trains and trams form the backbone of mass transit, cars provide greater flexibility, particularly in locations where rail access is limited. They are commonly found in cities, towns, and rural areas, serving as an essential mode of independent travel.

Advantages & Limitations

• Advantages: Provides flexible, independent transport without reliance on rail networks.
• Limitations: Aetho-magnetic stabilisation prevents most hazards, but severe terrain damage can result in a catastrophic system failure, destroying the undercarriage and rendering the vehicle inoperable.
