That is indeed a very beautiful machine! I shudder at the thought of having idiot drivers operate in the 3D.

Yep, probably the sleekest pile of smashed bloody parts I’ve
ever seen at a crash site.

It’s still using fan blades to propel the craft (no anti-grav yet), but the bodywork looks great and it does add a measure of safety. Looks sort of like the flying cars in Blade Runner.

The hype sounds like a real estate broker describing a cottage (shack) for sale on a lake. . . .

You can just imagine the flying rocks/sand/FOD if this tried to take off from the beach as pictured:

Flying cars...
Brings to mind that old expression about “sliding down a banister and having it turn into a razor blade half-way down”...

Is it a combustion engine or are they going electric? Would love to see how the elites handle environmental questions while tooling around in a 2 million dollar “gas powered” vehicle.

Is there a Sidewinder missile option?

Just saying...would be kinda neat to have that.

Meh. I whip up stuff like that all the time with SubD surfacing. (Not so much anymore since I mostly avoid aircraft engineering now). It is a pretty shell on another scaled up drone. I have been asked to work on a dozen of similar projects.

What I find funny is they are playing the “GREEN” fantasy angle. While saying we have to save the planet and showing how horrible public transportation is, they are cashing in on the GREEN frenzy so people can isolate themselves from the unwashed masses on public transportation. That’s the game though. That’s where the investment dollars come from.

Somebody was busy with a thesaurus. That said, it looks pretty sweet.

Looks like a futuristic cop car. Maybe not Fifth Element but one of those types of movies.
