The Big 3 Automakers and Flying Cars
All the current problems with the Big 3 US automakers and the debate over their short term future has left me wondering about the long term.
For many years as I've watched the developments over at Moller industries I've often that thought that when we do start to have personal flying vehicles, as is completely inevitable, it will be the major car manufacturers of today that are the flying vehicle manufacturers of tomorrow. It's not hard to imagine climbing into a space age looking flying car like that above, with the Ford logo embossed on the front.
I wonder if future plans for flying cars will find their way into the car companies' submissions to the government. Somehow I doubt it.
If you've enjoyed this post you can receive future musings, as I write them, via email. I post about once a week on average. More techy folk might prefer to subscribe to my RSS feed and I'd be delighted if you do. I'm rather more active on Twitter, have a few pictures up on Flickr, and I tend to keep track of people on LinkedIn and increasingly-less-so Facebook. My day job is running WorldTV.com - a site for doing cool things with online video.
