Smart stadiums, flying taxis, holographic technology and flying race cars are among the new technologies those in the industry say will be commonplace by the 2032 Brisbane Olympic Games.
"It is the future, it is pod racing in the sky… it's Star Wars," the company's head of media Stephen Sidlo said."This is what they call an eVTOL aircraft… it can go in multiple directions and dimensions.""Once we've built and tested all these flying cars, and we've done a number of races, we're going to move to a live broadcast model," Mr Sidlo said.
Having flying racing pods — or racing drone leagues — as a demonstration sport at the 2032 Olympic Games, would be a dream come true, he said. But there's a lot of work to do first."But the only way we're really going to get there is if we validate what the sport looks like, get broadcasts, get a desire from the audience on what they want to see, and also test this safety system.
He also believes that the fan experience — live in the arena or via broadcast at home — will change significantly.
