Here I thought that inventors had given up on the future vehicle of the 50s, and it turns out that one man was working on it all along.

The flying car that everyone was promised (or for many of us here.. that their parents were promised) won't be safe to use unless the following happen:

1.) Anti-gravity technology in a compact scale can be mass produced. (good luck with that one)

2.) It would need an auto-navigation with backups systems for the backup systems (you don't want every tom,dick and harry flying cars above your head just because they can pass a vision test)

3.) Might as well thow in shield technology... might just end up like a bumper car madness in the cities.

4.) Ejection seats with winggliding parachutes are provided (auto deployed by your nanobots in your body if ejected.)

He talks about a navigational GPS system, which makes it so you do None of the flying, you sit there and play video games or read or something and the car does the rest of the work.

Near the end he was also talking about how it comes equipped with parachutes, not sure if that means ejection seat, the car itself deploys the chutes to land safely, or if you're supposed to strap in during a free fall.

And as for the shield technology, it's an M class vehicle on roads, so it goes by motorcycle safety rules while on the ground, unless you're talking about flying in the cities again and I refer to the part where he talks about the designated launch sites.

Essentially he was talking about what I figured, drive to a launch site, they point you in the right direction, and say "Have a nice flight" and the computer takes over.

With an entire system in place much like flight navigation this wouldn't be an issue, the car can fly up to 25,000 feet and with a GPS they'll be able to track it and make corrections as they go along.

I'm actually very excited at this video.

This will never fly (pun intended) in a post 9/11 world. Imagine a large scale nav system hack.
