| People driving in two dimensions for some people is bad enough. Never mind three dimensions. |

| It was tried in the 1940s. It was a commercial flop. Too expensive for the average driver/pilot.

| I thought the idea had been around for a long time. I was looking forward to those cars that float above the road, sort of flying on a cushion of air. I replace so many tires! |

| Bob Cummings flew one of those and that was a long time ago. As Al stated, it never caught-on. I think for one to use such a vehicle they would first have to become a pilot. Secondly, how many could afford one?
Remember the cartoon, The Jetsons? When I was a kid I thought that would be the way people would navigate in the future. Hasn't happened yet, but the future is always the future. |

| I guess if you can ski in a hotel in Dubai, anything is possible with enough money. |

| I just want one of these, so if I get pulled over, I can just say, "This vehicle has not broken any laws; allow it to move along," and the officer will say, "Your vehicle has not broken any laws; move along." |
