That is just a lawsuit or murder charge waiting to happen.

Hmmmmmm ... ... ... I used to drive go-karts competitively, and "Handles like a go-kart" is seriously scary.

In part of the video, the tail rotor is turning counterclockwise (as seen from the left side), and later the tail rotor is turning clockwise (as seen from the left side).

Also the tail rotor seems to be turning at different speeds, somtimes very slowly, although this could be due to the effect of slow-motion video.

From what I’ve seen, the best way forward for “flying cars” that I’ve seen so far are those cylindrical propellers. They look almost like a small paddlewheel, only the vanes are movable. The vehicles I’ve seen with them mount four of these propellers, one at each corner. There are no exposed blade ends whirling around, so it’s not going to take someone’s head off if they’re inattentive.

This thing looks fun, but it’s really just a helicopter that can drive itself to the helipad. The “car” aspect is an afterthought.

I want one, but one built by, say, Honda. Something that will stay in the air when you want it to.

Since there’s no traffic congestion anymore, this isn’t much needed.

Nothing new. Both Popular Science and Popular Mechanics have articles about these going back sixty years ago.

So, if stuck in traffic, you can fly over the road jam? Sounds tempting, but if there’s another carcopter with the same idea, near you, there will be an even worse traffic jam from the collision.

Effectively, it's a small, single-seat helicopter with automatic quick-fold rotor blades

Better be REAL quick-folding if I'm in the car in the adjacent lane when this comes in for a landing. Good grief.

NO WAY I would drive something with wheels that small on the highway. (And I drive an Ariel Atom on the highway)
