I don't have the time left to see any of this to fruition.

As for how his Skycar will actually be utilized, he makes it clear that it will be totally automated and not piloted...that would make me nuts (or at least, nuttier)! All that I would get to do, would be to drive it a few miles down the road to the closest heliport....

are you investing?

Here is the Skycar inventor, Paul Moller, explaining how his product would be utilized in the future:

The Florida high speed train that almost got built (with Federal and Florida taxpayer's money) would have connected Tampa and Orlando. The official study concluded that the train would cut 30 minutes off of the current car trip. I repeat: "30 minutes travel time saved".

Now picture this: you leave your car at the Tampa train station...pay for an expensive train ticket...get to Orlando 30 minutes sooner...then you are standing in the Orlando train station with no transportation.

How many people would think that this was a good idea? Answer: nobody but the politicians that wanted the pork barrel spending in their districts.

Our Governor (Republican) halted the project, and he gets my admiration for that decision.

Exactly! Stupid idea.

By the way, Tampa to Orlando always takes 30 minutes, at 87 MPH. No problem. : )

exactly. I like to drive. I bet non mooch, kathywiso and pirate can get that skycar up to 400mph. somebody would have to move over

he should have let her breath in that one part lol

The M400 Skycar goes 350 MPH and can leave from any point and arrive at any point at any time. This crappy loop thing is just another "public" project designed to herd sheeple from one pen to another.

I want a sky car. I don't want to sit in a tube with a bunch of other people at 400 MPH. Give me the same ability from my driveway to a point of my choice any time I want.

Ditto! The freedom of movement, choice and schedule provided by your own automobile is one of it's most attractive features.

seems like a govt mass transit scheme Mr. Musk will get rich off (again)
1.why the white paper? to build interest starting from within the govt
2.why a solution requiring massive infrastructure? lots of govt money and control
3.why not a combo of google cars and aviation?
4.there have been versions of this around for a long time. It is a great PR campaign
and expected from someone who made lots of money off of Tesla, as a govt project through and through
