Flying in Style

Just wanted to update the blog with some cool posts I've seen recently. Personal transportation is beginning to get exciting. To quote Henry Ford, "Mark my word: a combination of airplane and motor car is coming. You may smile, but it will come." He said that almost 75 years ago and it may be finally coming to fruition.

The Aeromobil 2.5 flying car is just that; follow the link to the write-up on Core77 for more details. Some things that impressed me were it's ability to fill up at regular gas station and fit in a normal parking spot.

Along the same line, Mercedes has put out a pretty impressive video featuring their driverless car. It's amazing to see the on-board computer identifying objects and people as it drives itself. Now if we could only combine the two concept we'd be flying in style, literally.
