And flying cars requiring both an FAA license, and coming with a Lamborghini price tag while delivering Volkswagen performance in either performance envelope probably aren't going to take the world by storm.
But it's a step in the right direction.
Like driverless cars though, the first time some clown creams an overhead power line and shuts down traffic for hours, the experiment will bottleneck rapidly.
Wallows on the landing approach, hard to see passing cars on the road (even with the very LONG side-mirror extensions), and parallel parking is a bitch.
Jetpacks...I was definitely promised jetpacks.

Now it's gonna get 'interesting'...
ReplyDeleteI have a suspicion that those cars will be bought by people who fit one of these two equations:
ReplyDeleteBuyer = money > brains
Buyer = money > skill
Or both...
