FLYING CARS

Answer to ever-worsening traffic jams:
Sitting amidst a sea of cars in heavy traffic on an endless expressway, have you ever dreamt about your car taking off and flying over the road ...or to fly anywhere in the world in your own personal jet anytime you want? This is no longer a reverie and it is the realization of a century-old dream -- the merging of cars and planes into roadable aircraft, or flying cars

SKYCAR:
Gasoline, diesel, alcohol, kerosene and propane can be used to fuel the Skycar, and its fuel mileage will be comparable to that of a medium-sized car, getting 20 miles (32.2 km) to the gallon. The initial cost of a Skycar will be about $1 million, but once it begins to be mass produced that price could come down to as low as $60,00

The four-seat Skycar is powered by eight rotary engines that are housed inside four metal housings, called nacelles, on the side of the vehicle. There are two engines in each nacelle so that if one of the engines in one of the nacelle fails, the other engine can sustain flight. The engines lift the craft with 720 horsepower, and then thrust the craft forward. To make the Skycar safe and available to the general public, it will be completely controlled by computers using Global Positioning System(GPS) satellites, which Moller calls a fly-by-wire system. In case of an accident, the vehicle will release a parachute and airbags, internally and externally, to cushion the impact of the crash.

Drivers will simply get in, turn on the power and enter the address or phone number of their destination. SkyRider will do the rest. The system will be almost fully automatic, but may allow some manual control. Commands will be entered just by telling the car what you want it to do.
Flying cars that can travel at hundreds of miles per hour would not only cut that rush hour commute to a few minutes, but it would allow us to live hundreds of miles farther from work and still make it to the office faster than by road-bound cars today.
