Flying Cars

     

Have you ever fantasized about a a flying car while watching "Back to the Future" or "Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang"? Flying cars have been a reality for several years, but has yet to be accepted as a practical solution to everyday travel.

            

            While self-operating vehicles are still far off you can still own a flying car.  PAL-V ONE, TERRAFUGIA TRANSITION, THE MAVERICK LSA, and EROMOBILE 3.0, are just some of the models of today’s functioning, flying cars. TERRAFUGIA TRANSITION will even put you in line to receive one of their flying cars with a deposit. PAL-V ONE drives like a sports car and has an easy transition to gyroplane. The MAVRICK costs only $94,000 and does not require a piloting license. Lastly my favorite, the EROMOBILE 3.0, manufactured by EROMOBILE SRO in Czechoslovakia, is just a beautiful mode of transportation.

Flying cars are considered extravagant and expensive, but Uber wants to change that. Uber plans to partner with companies to push the program forward. In the program they mention an automated driving system in order to make this more affordable. This program has yet to be perfected in cars, let alone flight. However, they ensure us that the technology is on the way, just not in the immediate future.
