Science fiction has been promising me a flying car for as long as I can remember. The Jetsons, Bladerunner, the Fifth Element.... It's 2012, I want my frickin' flying car, already!

It's here...

That thing doesn't count. It's a "driving" helicopter.

Isn't that the gyrocopter the dude in Mad Max Road Warrior used?

I was seven years old when this issue of Popular Mechanics came out: http://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/news/4232574 I remember buying that magazine and hanging onto it.

21 years later, I'm still wondering, "Where the heck is it?!?!"



Who cares about improved medicine and communications? I want my flying car, hoverboard and light saber!

The only problem with a light saber is ............................You know someone ,[ Turtle comes to mind], would try to shave with it!!!............JR

What he said.
You need to have a button on the dash to punch, so it'll change automatically.
And a bazooka. At least a bazooka.

That gyrocopter from Mad Max/Road Warrior was cool.

I dunno, I'm thinking sky traffic will be pretty bad around rush hour.
Will there be sky buses and sky subways?

Better yet, why not have tubes like in Futurama?
