Default Hover/Flying Car
http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/the-future-is-n...125k-280546.php

Moller International, creators of that stunning red flyingcar prototype seen web-wide, has started production on the M200G, the consumer-ready derivative of the M200X volantor, and is readying the machine for the open market. Depending on engine costs, the M200G will cost between $90,000-$125,000. Video:

According to the press release, the machine can hover 10 feet off the ground and cruises at a speed of 50 mph. Because the M200G is classified as a recreation device and not an aircraft, it is not subject to FAA regulations and anybody can operate one. No official release date has been announced.


Pretty cool

pretty cool, but I watched the test and I'm pretty sure I don't want to be the first casualty... I'll let them work on that a little longer.
