It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's Zooming Over Traffic!

Finally, the promise of the flying car has been answered. Kinda ... when it comes to floating cars, seeing is believing.


Moller International has "begun production" on its M200G Volantor two-seater flying vehicle. The company says that the vehicle will hover up to 10 feet over most surfaces at 50 mph. Whoosh!

With traffic getting worse by the day, the starting price of $90,000 seems a small price to pay to dodge the dreaded morning rush.

4. will never happen but looks quite cool.

looks unstable yet and a computer will prob calm that down but imagine society flying these things around? a small air pocket or turbulence and you have a massive flight wreck. not to mention people can barely handle automobiles let alone a flying disk

6. Check out the cable attached to the top of the thing at the end of the video. It clearly looks like it was attached to something that was lifting it up. Dunno. kinda fishy.

8. probably just a safefty cable on a crane just in case he loses control. you can see there was slack in the cable so it wasn't lifted by it. good catch tho. i didn't see that the 1st time

12. Oh great, another kind of vehicle for dumbasses like britney, lindsay, paris & nicole to either crash or drive drunk in. This time, however, if you lose control, you LOSE CONTROL & plummet to earth. Woah; maybe we should give this car to all these losers today...

13. The Science Channel just did a show about this companies history and how they've been working on the flying machine for the past thirty years. It is connected to a cable but only for safety reasons, the cable plays no role in lifting the thing up.
