Cool. I've been waiting for my flying car ever since they were promised o me in the pages of Popular Science as a little kid. I'd like a jet pack, too.
Yesterday, Kristina and I battled NJ commuter traffic -- it's miserable, even well before day break... there's simply insufficient asphalt to accommodate the doubling of the US population since the GROWTH of the US highway system and the rise of the commuter culture--- so YES! up, up and away!
What are doing up in that sewer when it's in the 70's down here?

I've toured their plant. Cadillac Division, given its commitment to EVs, should check out these developments. It is not sci-fi; it's real and it currently has medical and military applications. Maybe personal transportation isn't all that far off...

Long ago Ford tried to develop a commuter plane, gave
up when his test pilot was killed. Most of the
accidents today are caused by driver error, no way
are those people able to handle the safety precautions
developed after aircraft became more common. Yes
there are some places where residents can operate
their own aircraft, after long training and strict
operational coordination. Bruce Roe
General aviation doesn't exactly have a stellar track record for safety and thats with pretty small numbers and in theory fairly strict training and re checks for both pilots and aircraft. There have been a few cases very recently where it was operator error simply running out of fuel.
