Are you joking?
No, I’m deadly serious! A company in America is taking deposits on Skycars for delivery probably in 2009. Would you like to travel ‘over’ the congestion? Perhaps you could commute to say Paris, Amsterdam or Berlin. With a cruise speed of 275mph and a range of 700 miles all this will be possible. So what’s the down side?
Well can you imagine all the traffic on the M1 - in flight – absolute chaos. The other possible downer, the price $995,000 US dollars if you want to be in the first 25 to own one of these Skycars. Still interested? Click the links for more information. Or to place your order!

Don’t hang about as stocks will be limited. If you do place an order we’d love to hear from you, perhaps we could have a test drive! Please!!!
Late in the last century i.e. 6 years ago the "Vision 2030" project commenced. The logic behind the study was to provide the Highways Agency (HA) with the ability to look further ahead than the normal 5 or 10 years, "to develop visions for mobility needs of people and goods in thirty years’ time".

Have you heard of Galileo and I’m not talking about the Italian astronomer and physicist who died in 1642? The Galileo I’m talking about is a constellation of 30 satellites and ground stations providing information concerning the positioning of users in many sectors such as transport. In the years to come Galileo will impact on all of our lives or at least the lives of anybody that moves. I assume that includes you! Galileo is a joint initiative between the European Union and the European Space Agency. Galileo enables any individual to determine his or her position or the location of any moving or stationary object (a car or bus perhaps) to within one metre thanks to a small cheap individual receiver.
