I do not usually comment about technology other than web development software and such, however I could not resist. In the article below, featured on the csmonitor.com talks about a new vehicle that may change the way we travel.
Now, seriously this scares me. Why because I already have to deal with float planes taking off from the Lake and flying over my house. While I trust most of the Lake Plane pilots, even though I have seen a couple fly into the local watering hole on the lake, put back a few, then fly off, I am not too worried. Can you imagine being on the interstate and the car in the lane next to you takes off? This is a little freaky. I wonder if these vehicles will be able to just take off from any old road or if they will HAVE to use the airport, then drive home.

Anyways, it is interesting that these planes can fly on regular unleaded and can fit right in the garage. I would bet if these things take off, commuting to work will change forever. The tricky part will be finding a gap in the road to land without hitting someone. I imagine that this vehicle will open up pandora’s box, however it is great to see technology moving forward.
The name of the company that built this is called Terrafugia, and this is the website, stop by and check it out: http://www.terrafugia.com/. Great website design by the way.
My next wish is to see a vehicle that does not depend on tires, however can hover on the road over snow, ice, and rain without spinning out. Maybe in a few years to come.
