#2For all his talk of "flying over traffic," that he realizes how super-rural areas (places without roads) could be a major benefit from this is great. And smart.
(Assuming it costs less than a small plane, which I imagine it does, and can carry an extra person reasonably.)

#3It's not a flying car, it's a driving plane.

Actually he makes it clear in the video, it's a good car that can be driven in excess of 95 mph does 0-60 in 3.9 seconds. So it is definitively a flying car ;p

#5It looks like a HOAX, the video doesn't show the vehicle in a test fly, or during a take off. 98% of the video either shows the vehicle going on the ground just like other non-flying cars or shows people discussing about a flying car.

#6This is the tribal adoption scenario he's referring to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mincaye

It shows the vehicle flying and landing. In order to be landing it must have had to take off at some point ...

#8Looks like an extended version of the ultralight trike: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultralight_trike

#9The big problem with his "stuck in traffic" scenario is how do you find the space to take off. Not to mention the legality of the whole thing.
Granted, it's a really cool demo, but he needs to admit that there is little real-world practicality.

#10Awesome. My only concern is the time to set up the wings, which seems quite a work. He says the wings are under a zipper, and there's the big mast that needs to be raised, this can't be quick.
