SUMMARY:
Google's cofounder has launched a prototype of the "ultralight" aircraft that has the ability to take off vertically... otherwise known as the flying car. In the demonstration on this past Monday, it showed the machine lifting off over a lake with the help of propellers under the base. According to their website, this flying car is said to come out on sale by the end of this year. Approved by the Federal Aviation Administration, an individual may fly this without a pilot's license, and in non-congested areas. Many other companies and firms are working towards the production of an "automobile" such as this, so there will be much competition in the making of this electronic.
ANALYSIS:
Before reading this article, I had not been aware of the competition to make a flying car. It's a very cool concept, and I'm interested to see how our society and electronics further from here. I wonder in a couple of years how our society differs from how we live currently, and I would like to know if it is eventually beneficial, or harmful to the environment. This article is from CNN, a very reliable source for current news and information. In the article, it mentioned that the device can only be flown over water, and I wanted to know why that was. Google will release more information on it soon. This synthesizes to the industrial revolution, where there were many advancements in technology and electronics.
