Put 4 of these engines together and whaddayaget? I wonder if they have one of these at Skywalker ranch? Hey, that's Paul Moller! I was 10 when I first became aware of his efforts to make a flying car. He's still at it, almost 40 years later. Where the hell has he gotten all the $$ for 4 decades of work without getting a product to the market? Oh, I've been to Skywalker Ranch, and no.

Where does Moller get the money? From promising each new batch of investors that the project will be finished real soon now. It appears from the outside that he's running a scam. So the question is, does he actually still believe that he's going to be able to deliver a usable vehicle, or is he aware of the scam?
There's no way a flying car is ever going to become a standard form of transportation. People have enough trouble keeping their cars from colliding with things in 2D, they don't need an extra D to contend with.

I made an error, I wrote, "almost 40 years now..." I meant 50. That correction makes me feel very bad.
I had suspected the investor thing, but for almost 50 years and still nada??? They've either gotta be stoopit, or he's pretty amazing at something we don't know about (but their wives do).
Chris, if I ever have an at-fault accident again, I'm gonna request that my insurer only pay the cost of repairing the other car in 2-D, like with Photoshop. I can't prove it, 'cause I'm not a philosopher or a quantum mechanic, but I'm pretty sure that when I'm driving down the road, my vehicle and I are already 3-D. Like I said, I can't really prove it.

You only have to pay for the 3D repair if you ran into the other car when merging into their lane from below or above.

We'll get flying cars when the cars do all the driving for you.

I agree that's what it will take. But I enjoy driving too much, to let the car do it.
