interesting engineering ^

Finally, I hope. I have been promised these for a long time.

I lost faith in moller a long time ago

Fascinating concept.

Can't imagine the nightmare of "traffic control" with every Tom, Dick and Jane flying one of these everywhere.

Clearly, some sort of electronic "lanes" type of infrastructure will need to be built.

[algore]

if Musk Posted here it would call it ‘AutoPilot’

[algore]

and you would pay extra for Full Self Flying Mode

[Captain Compassion]

Do they have any add on accessories such as air to ground missiles? Asking for a friend.

[Magnum44]

This is an old French commercial. Just a clip but you get the idea...

[faucetman]

I’ll get one when I get back from my Mars trip.

[RandallFlagg]

I still liked the Volantor.

[joshua c]

only 789k to beat the traffic

[algore]

it is for sale currently, I think the opening bid is 250k

but Moller as I opined earlier is a Scam Artist

and while it looks good, it does not work

[Red Badger]

[Bob434]

I’m guessing it’s gonna be around $11,000 or so?

[sauropod]

Looking forward to having one.

Overlay road infrastructure with magnetic strip. Equp vehicles with nuclear maglev capability, collision avoidance, and gps. Max speed 400 mph. Manual override capable, but mostly hands free. Your choice of transparent, translucent, or opaque, each availble on command. Interior and exterior colors/patterns also available and changeable on demand. Comes with module to navigate small entrances and steps- wherever the magstrip goes. Your choice of music and various scents on demand, too. Rubber tires ought to be museum pieces before long. Like steam engines today, so will internal combustion engines be. They are noisy, heavy, smelly, too many moving parts. Fun, yes, but cheaper and better is the future. Better includes quieter, smoother, safer, easier to repair or replace.

Tattoo was looking for that one ever since ;-)

[Yo-Yo]

"The Car! The Car!"

[antidemoncrat]

Does that look like missiles on it? If so, I want one.
