    Population control? There are tons of people that cant drive on the ground. What makes you think they can fly a car. We'd basicly be "bombing" our selfs

    It's computer controlled for the majority of it's flights. Controled by a GPS system. Basically input destination and it takes off and does the flying for you. Has over 7 Processors to be redundant in case one fails. You should read on the site and it answers most every question you can think of. I just think it's interesting.

    And if you don't think the sky car is impressive, at least his re-designed Wankel Rotary engine is cool. 75 pound motor makes 150hp, the more rotaries you add, the mor HP. Basically you have an engine that makes twice as much HP as it weighs. They also have a small briefcase size Generator that is already in production that they have been in contract discussion with an un-disclosed Automaker to make a Hybrid Electric/rotary powered vehicle.
    It's an interesting read.
