Cars that make u drool
by n krishnan on Aug 04, 2007 04:04 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

I want to see cars which can fly for short distance. This will be useful in India, especially when u want to overtake not from right or left but from above.

Do you need a car in future to travel, you imagine and you are at that place-your dream life will be you real life. Don't just fly move ata lightening speeds.

Arvind, i have actually heard what you said. I dont remember which company but there is already lot of R&D going on in this. But again, i had heard this sometime 5 years back. I wonder whats happened to this research. However, let me tell you, this concept is nothing new when thinking of Hindu ancient history. Any technology is appreciable only if it does not pollute or may be, it pollutes only in a negligible manner. Even hybrid vehicles need batteries, which again means, necessity of fuel though in a different way. I think, there is gulf politics in R&D of non-fuel vehicles. Indians pay Rs60 per litre of petrol while Pakistan and Bangladesh do just half of that (and that too, their exchange rate is so less!).

Krishnan ur idea is a much wanted one. We need to compete with the airlines and make the already unsafe air travelling to very dangrous levels

I have heard that matter can be converted into light friends. Very soon we would be able to travel at the speed of light. This is bad news for transport industry. They should start thinking about diversification.

Already we cant handle these stupids on land, now you want them on air!
We dont need cars that fly... we need to first educate these stupid egoists!
