Exciting times to be living in. It will be great to see this type of vehicle hit mass market some day. It will be like living in the Jetsons "era".

Yep I can't wait to see the cell-phone yakkin latte sippin' clowns I encounter on the road in the air. Arent the standards set by the FAA to fly an aircraft too low already?

Well I know what you are getting at. But this thing is designed with multiple computers and such so that its basically you plug in the place you want to go to and it does the rest. The rider is there to moniter the controls.

Yes, great indeed ... because folks have managed to master 2-dimensional transportation so well.

Umm.....why is there a crane over the hover car? Is the thing really flying? Why are the engines tilted around 40 degrees yet its not moving forward? Why does it swing forward and back? Is it because it is attached to the crane?

Hmmmmmm! Look closer!

I can't put my finger on it, but why does this sound familiar? :erm:

If you read the website, you will note the crane is there to protect their only current prototype. The cable is loose, it is not carrying the skycar. I know its hard to believe, but its quite a remarkable feat what the man has invented. It doesnt even use fossil fuels.

This thing has been around for a long time now and hasn't yet managed to affect anything.

As somebody else alluded to: Yep, with 30,000 plus deaths every year in automobile accidents, our society sure is ready for aerial travel for the masses.

This abortion of a car/plane will never get off the ground. (pardon the pun)
