Lazer Horse:2014/07/06 at 11:39I WANT THE PERSONAL HELICOPTER PLEASE Martin Brewer:2013/03/17 at 17:10That red car with the massive propeller on the front... Probably comes with extra strong wipers to clear what's left of the pedestrians from the windscreen... Wil Clark:2013/07/10 at 23:52lol yeh that seems pretty safe in collision situations. Tommy Henningsen:2013/08/22 at 14:15lol.... Czar Altınöz:2013/12/24 at 15:26Lmao!! XD Pavan Kumar Goud:2014/01/10 at 19:09creative folks.. blending their talents Amos Littrell:2013/09/04 at 04:11Boy, have we let ourselves down... :D Scott Wright:2013/04/25 at 16:20Google's driverless cars have logged well over 300,000 miles in Nevada. The only accidents have been when they switch them to manual control (people). This was also a fact when the USAF used the F-111 fighter bomber TFR (Terrain Following Radar) for the first time in Vietnam. The aircraft would hug the ground but the pilots would freak out near mountain ranges and turn it off, take control of the stick and crash. Fredrik Gustafsson:2013/12/03 at 07:48Please note the Tuplovev "Concordski" in the background of one of the pics towards the end. Very interesting, I thought that was a secret project until it was revealed in 1973 Darien Hawkins:2013/11/10 at 07:59Notice how all of the flying cars lack any visibility to look below the vehicle? I would think that any commercial vehicle marketed to the consumer base at large that has the ability to arbitrarily change direction in the Z-axis would have some design requirement to allow the occupants to have the ability to look in all directions. Nils Sens:2013/12/24 at 07:41yes, I was thinking the same thing! Darien Hawkins:2013/11/10 at 08:07*Forth from the bottom* Whatever you do, you must ensure you walk you dog on the surface of the moon. Paul Calpe:2013/03/31 at 11:54The fifth image looks like a mid 1950s Citroën DS - without wheels and flying of course! Peter Alcivar:2013/05/16 at 03:41I said exactly the same thing. Tierza Hayes:2013/07/12 at 08:59The fender is still there. *shakes head* Photoshop, knew it Manuel Araujo:2013/08/15 at 01:30... and was for a magazine/newspaper add! Adrian Silea:2013/11/23 at 21:32Also Fantomas' flying vehicle of choice. :) Samatha Lee:2013/07/09 at 12:26this kewl.... Paulette Heape Wright:2013/07/31 at 14:26Third from the bottom actually resembles a Dyson bladeless fan. It could work! :) Nils Sens:2013/12/24 at 07:28Wow, I don't know, you'd need a hell of an air jet to propel the vessels, and that in an open environment system... not very energy efficient. That said, the air jet will be triggered in short bursts, whenever the sensor registers the incoming tip of a vessel. It works theoretically, at least... Peter Pavelka:2013/03/21 at 03:04There is only one thing wrong with those pictures, and that is missing iPhones in the hands of those people :) Nils Sens:2013/12/24 at 07:30*in the heads Salvatore Esposito:2013/05/16 at 15:01https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fans-of-Dodge-Challenger/446115108789757 William Bethea:2013/01/11 at 07:45The autopilot car is on the verge of reality. Peter Pavelka:2013/03/21 at 03:08Yeah and today people will also definitely play with domino and paper air planes during the journey :D Kyle Parrott:2013/04/18 at 13:54google has had driverless cars since 2005. They have been on the road for several years now. Dawn Schenck:2013/07/31 at 14:26When it breaks down, do you just shut it all down and then restart? John Albert Tate:2013/04/04 at 19:43I think we could actually build that water trike from the very last picture... Razvan Chircu:2013/11/05 at 23:27It has actually been built :), same look... Nils Sens:2013/12/24 at 07:30it has been built, yup. Ben Ueberroth:2013/05/06 at 17:30these people were retarded. Donnie Archer:2013/07/31 at 14:55Are you serious right now? Either you are completely retarded or this is a mediocre attempt at trolling. We have metal boxes that can propel you hundreds of times faster than evolution could have ever prepared, a little machine on a planet that is 33.9 million miles away, that is controlled without ever seeing the machine, you have a tiny box that allows you to speak and see other people as well as share pictures almost instantly. We have stopped light. You think these ideas are absurd but think about the technology you use everyday. It's sounds far more insane than anything in these images. "These people" are the reason modern technology exists. Darien Hawkins:2013/11/10 at 08:04Donnie Archer +1 to you. Ned Yeung:2013/01/13 at 18:43That last one was the awesomest. You could totally make one of those. Albu Andrei:2013/01/20 at 14:21Yeap :) It has been done . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Qucf0fipo8 Mitt Nival:2013/03/11 at 08:44The gyro stabilized two wheel bus put me in mind of the Segway, and several of the train ideas are like monorails/ bullet trains, too. Mark W. Mitchell:2013/02/01 at 14:19Amazing what people dream.... George William Reed:2013/01/11 at 06:23Ya Know! Some of these just might not be that far off the mark? Daves Rossell:2013/01/10 at 22:04Cool~! Pablo Merejo:2013/01/11 at 00:30cool Karim Bennour:2013/01/10 at 18:58awesome Leandro Araújo:2013/01/13 at 22:07But what happened then? Rambo XD:2013/04/24 at 11:58They actually nailed one of them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nh2Ym7ehb8k Follow @scienceacademy
