bit of hostility in the chill-out room. damn sketchin' e-tards. wuttup to all the kidz abt, dreamgurl, b.s.e., etc. i'm down with b.s.e. world will end well before 2021. and if not then i will end. my predicted age of death is 40. so my world will end by 2021, maybe not the rest of yours. and i think they do have the cure for aids and that they won't release it. even if they do there will be worse things by then. perhaps flying cars but we wouldn't be able to visit other countries because of fuel limitations unless they made fuel stations in the middle of the ocean or something. i figure in 20 years the world will be much the same with technological advancements traded for valuable resources. such is the american dream. live on my brethren.

as lost pointed out: HOSTILITY
anyhow....firestarter: maybe not talking about cars specifically, but technology in general...go back 20 years.....top of the line computer then: my graphing calculater kicks the shit out of it....in like the 50's a scientist made the briliant prediction(back when a computer took about like a room): "i predict that by 2000, computers may weigh as little as 20 pounds" HAHAHAHAH
technology have come forward at light speed in the last half century...and at the moment hasnt shown signs of slowing down.]
BSE's prediction has alot of merit: if mankind continues the way is going, it will either destroy itself wil pointless warfare, depleat the earth with thoughtless consumption, or (slim chance) WISE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hows this:
"The world is changed, some say Awakened.
Today, in 2053, the world is radically different from that of our great-grandfathers. Where once powerful nations dominated the globe, threatening each other with suden nuclear annihilation, many smaller autonomous nations exist, and corporations have overtaken the superpowers' once immense authority. Our science and technology, too, set us apart, with current levels making previous advances look like a childs expiriment with a science kit.
But that is not all that divides our age irrivocably from the past, for magic has emerged again on earth, and we live in an Awakened world."
hehehe...that is taken from Shadowrun 2nd edition rulebook.
fun stuff
anyhow part of it makes sense. already huge companys/corporations control large parts of the world in a way.
makes you think
thats my rant

hi firestarter...AGAIN... I suppose you havent really been reading my posts... so let me make it clear to you as I mentioned in the first post....
Ok.. can you read now??.. NOTICE how I mentioned that those were my predicitions.. and not to anyone TAKE IT PERSONAL.. but of course thats too much to ask huh?? again.. IT IS NOT LIKE IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN.
oh by the way.. they havent made just one prototype... they already made 6 of them.. the first one was biult in 1962...
and AGAIN.. I sounds to me that you didnt read my last post when I mentioned that "a lot of people will own flying cars in 20 years... I NEVER SAID "EVERYONE WILL HAVE FLYING CARS IN 20 YEARS"..the reason i said that is because they are gonna cost a lot of money that only super starts or the queen of england will afford one...just like a lof of superstars own their private jets or planes nowadays...
and as to your concern in crashing and "roads in the sky" and "signs
in the air".. IF airplanes dont have them.. why would flying cars need them???not to mention technology is going to be way more advanced...
do you need me to ANSWER ANYMORE OF YOUR QUESTIONS??

Finally a thread I know something about
ABT and Dream Grl you can buy one tomorrow if you want ... check it out http://www.moller.com/skycar
My old boss, who's a retired air force fighter pilot and airline training captain, was involved in designing the Skycar and he's actually flown the thing a few times, I've had a couple of chats about it over a few pints with him. It is real, it is way cool, and they are very serious about what they are going to do.
The technology is totally sorted, the only thing that's holding them back from full production is investment and economy of scale. If they only build a few, they'd cost millions each to recoup the cost of the tooling and investment. If they could guarantee to build a few hundred thousand of them though, they'd cost about as much as any other sports car.
Anyway firestarter the air traffic management is not even an issue, they'd just do exactly what they do with airplanes already which is make everyone who's going in the same direction travel at the same height. Like, if you're heading east you travel at 3,000 feet, if you're going west you travel at 4,000 feet and so on. As well as that, everyone who flies in busy airspace is required to have a radar gadget called a transponder on board, that constantly transmits your position. (It also shows up your position on air traffic control radar screens, the WTC hijackers turned it off in their hijacked aircraft which is why it took so long for everyone to work out what it was they were doing). Other planes around you with the same kit, can detect your position, calculate your flight path, work out whether it's going to conflict and advise you whether to turn left, right, up or down etc to avoid. It's dead easy to use, and trust me I feel a damn sight safer using those things than I do trying to navigate the Honda home on the motorway after work every day ...
It's definitely going to happen and probably a lot sooner than 20 years, can't wait myself
