A variant is "poised ... for sail in the United States by 2nd half of 2015": <http://zeropollutionmotors.us/>. It has three wheels and a joystick instead of a steering wheel. See this CNN video: <http://youtu.be/0RBl1LFUQ4c>. Popular Science offered this article in February about a variant running compressed nitrogen which gets recirculated. Both cars could be thought of as electric cars in that they can be plugged in to "refuel," but instead of storing charge in a battery the energy to power the car is stored in compressed gas. Of course, my favorite upcoming technology flies a little higher. My friend Steve Saint developed the first and only flying car approved by the FAA. (He was motivated by the needs of remote tribal peoples for access beyond where the road ends. The car is covered by CNN in this 3-minute segment: <http://youtu.be/7INsC6Ts3qc>. See the latest update here: <http://youtu.be/Kms5mK_y8R0>. The company selling this car is <http://mavericklsa.com/>. This is now available for purchase at $94,000 ("nicely equipped"). >On Sep 19, 2014, at 9:48 AM, Chris Hahn <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Ernie, Is this for real? I hope so. Chris >> > >No idea.
