Flying Cars To Be Commercially Available In 2016 - BBC by whyteheart: 5:51pm On Feb 19, 2015 |
A company which wants to introduce flying cars says its first model, the Transition, should be available commercially in 2016. Boston based company Terrafugia says it has overcome technical difficulties that saw the firm lose favour with some investors who had expected aircraft sales to begin in 2012. Chief executive Carl Dietrich told BBC Click's Dan Simmons the company was also developing a vertical take-off and landing aircraft, which they expect to be available in eight to 10 years. Mr Dietrich explained he wanted to transform personal transportation and offer the public the chance to fly to where they need to go with minimal tuition.

That means before you'll be allowed to buy this car or whatever it is called, you should have gone to aviation school before people will be crashing 2-4-7 2 Likes |

Nice innovation. The implications are quite numerous. One being re-learning how to drive/fly auto-mobile of the future. Another is a change in the extant laws guarding driving. Guess it may engender crash in the prices of conventional vehicles. 1 Like |
