I think the future is probably electric vehicles for short trip urban areas and some suburban mixed with hybrid IC for those who live further out as well as busses and tractor/trailers. Personally I hope to see hydrogen fuel cells replace the hybrid ICs. I doubt we'll see battery technology that will replace hybrid IC in our lifetimes unless we have a major breakthrough.
I see the next things in current IC engines being electronic valvetrains, variable compression, and also the electric driven turbo/superchargers we are currently seeing from various carmakers.
