Ok Jetsons fans, the future is now, or at least coming soon. This is supposed to be the worlds first production flying car. And it could be yours for a mere 180 shares of Google stock. For safety they are going to limit them to 50 MPG and only 10 ft off the ground. Also they look unstable as heck (from the video), but who cares? It flies man.
The transparent bubble top is a nice touch, but doesn't look too strong if you ever rolled it.
Personally I'm going to wait for the model that folds into a briefcase.
Your distance is limited to the length of the crane's cable for safety reasons.
