Re: SkyCar
Right now it would be very possible for small 'family planes' to be designed and sold. Alaska is a good example - I think more people own airplanes than cars in some parts of the state.
A state of the art, small aircraft could be designed to fly on auto pilot from takeoff to landing - and since they would be small the runways would also be small.
In fact, auto pilot on a aircraft is easier in many aspects, because you would not fly 3 feet off the ground, compaired to making an auto pilot system for a car, that drives 3 feet away from the center guard rail.
Flying cars, like the Jetsons, would take a breakthrough in technology - antigravity engines or some other way to defy gravity besides raw horsepower and wings.
