Flying Car Crashing Our Realities in 2017

A flying car is expected to be available to hit the open road by 2017.

When JFK said he wanted us to go to the Moon by the end of the 60's everyone thought he was drunk. He might have been, but he was also the President of the United States. What he wants, he gets. Isn't that right Ms. Monroe.

In the quest to reach the moon this country saw a huge surge in new inventions. Seems logical we would, since we were putting men in space, they couldn't just check a suitcase and on carry-on. The invention that seems to pop up in everyone's mind, well, my mind anyway, was Tang. Then there was Velcro & Teflon. Turns out they didn't invent those things, but thet did green light these and many more.

• Solar Panels
• Memory Foam
• Shoe Insoles
• Invisible Braces
• Cell Phone Cameras
• Baby Formula

For a time there, it looked like we were going to make the "Jetsons" a reality. (Bring on the flying cars and the ability to dump the family through a hole whenever you want) But then, big business took over the world and progress slowed down. But now it seems that flying cars are within reach. Last year the flying roadster AeroMobil 3.0 was unveiled in Vienna during the Pioneers Festival.

It looks pretty good. A little bigger than the flying car from that James Bond movie, but about the same size as an extended cab pick me up truck. It looked fairly normal on the road. It was more strange in the air, but then it would be.

Then just a few weeks ago at SXSW in Austin it was announced that this model could be available for production by 2017.

So now I'me super excited, and massively frightened. I'm screaming at idiots on the way to the Wal-mart on a regular basis, now I'll have to worry about one them crashing on me while they're texting & flying. Guess I'll have to take the good with the bad. This Ying & Yang crap is getting old.
