Audrey Griffin "Google cofounder's 'flying car' makes its debut"

Google cofounder's 'flying car' makes its debut


Summary: This article tells about how Google just debuted its new flying car which is supposed to be available for consumer purchase by the end of this year. The company is currently trying to get governmental permission for the vehicle to be flown in uncongested areas. The flying "car" can currently only be flown over bodies of water. Google is also currently in the process of suing Uber for stealing its intellectual property having to do with flying, even though Google is a major investor in Uber.

Analysis: The future is here (kinda)! Ever since I saw Back to the Future I've been looking forward to the day I get to take a ride on a flying vehicle. The flying car that can only fly over water is only a couple steps behind having an actual hoverboard! It's definitely cooler than the dumb rolly hover boards we have available to us now. Those are lame. Anyway, competition is cool! It leads to innovation like in the Guilded Age.
