I’ll try to keep this short. I’m a very mechanical inclined individual and find it a bit strange that this far in the future we still use very similar if not almost the exact form to power the automobiles as we do now. It appears that vehicles are still using combustible engines and using gas/desiel powered engines. With the ability to colonize other worlds how have we not been able to make advancements in automobiles. The civilian vehicles we see through the the campaign seem to be electric engines. However gas and electric are very inconvenient in a combat zone, if you aren’t lugging around gallons of fuel then you are likely to “run out of fumes” quick. You can say it’s to show the difference between covenant and human technology but I still find it odd. Im not trying to nit pick but does anyone else find it odd we still use combustible engines this far in the future?
It’s odd but it’s just how humanity is portrayed in halo, it’s to distinguish us from the aliens.
The Warthog has a hydrogen engine I think.
1- Technically Warthogs are powered by water not gasoline.
2- This issue spans all the way back to a design decision made when Halo:CE came out. Basically Bungie wanted to make a distinct division between Human and Alien technology. Along with that they wanted the Humans to be more approachable for the players, so thus they decided to make most of the UNSC gear based off of current technology even though the game is technically set centuries in the future.

All UNSC ground vehicles do (bar walkers like the Mantis, and most likely the Mammoth) From Halopedia:
M12 Warthog
The M12 is a four-wheel all-terrain vehicle capable of going over any obstacle without difficulty; under the hood the M12’s power is generated by a forward-housed low-profile liquid-cooled hydrogen-injected ICE I/C plant, coupled with an automatic infinitely variable transmission (IVT). The hydrogen fuel is burned at very high temperature with a synthetic carbon/silicon catalyst to achieve even better fuel consumption. This hydrogen engine is the standard among all UNSC ground (and most air) based vehicles, replacing fossil fuel-based engines some 400 years ago. The M12 features a Graf/Hauptman solar/saline actuator, and will convert up to twelve liters of fresh, brackish or salt water into hydrogen on the fly. Detritus from the process is compacted on board and disposed of manually by the crew. This allows the Warthog to travel 790 kilometers (490 miles) before it needs to be refueled, a range that can be easily extended by the addition of any container capable of holding liquid
Simply put; gasoline is a thing of the past. And with the one major issue out of the way, UNSC vehicles can continue doing what human transporation has done since they were first brought into existence in the 1900s; bringing people to places they need to go quickly and without exertion to themselves, and running down hordes of aliens.
If we were to abandon designing cars to look better and have upgrading them, it is possible that’s how cars in the future would look like anyway. If NASCAR racing was to be discontinued it might affect the amount of sleek looking cars in city areas.

That’s something I didn’t know! Perhaps I don’t have the in depthe understanding of the lore as I thought. I’m glad they made adjustments to that, I thought those were gas cans on the back of the hog, but (and I may be wrong about this as well) other aspect of the Vechiles such as the simple shocks that I feel would be a bit more advanced. However i guess if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

Halopedia is your best friend, mate. XD.
Not sure about the shocks, but considering that an M12 can handle flying off a 20 foot cliff and land without scraping the bottom of its chassis on the ground…

Lol that’s true, I guess I’m going just based off of appearance. They could be made with different materials.

I know for sure the tires are solid-state carbon nanotube constructs. No air inside so they can’t go flat, the entire tire is literally just carbon rubber.

That’s really interesting, I’m regretting my post now. I’m glad that they did clear those things up.

Don’t regret it. Learn from it. Grow and understand.
