Flying CarI have a 32 mile, 50 minute commute to work.  Even the slightest delay on the roads, will cause me to be late.  What could improve my commute, you ask?  Well, the answer is a flying car!  Terrafugia, a Massachusetts company, created the TF-X which is described as a cross between a Google self-driving car, a helicopter, and a plane.

Supposedly, I only need to wait another eight years until I can pay a projected $270,000 for a brand new TF-X.  When the flying car concept was first founded by MIT in 2006, developers announced that we would be driving and flying these new car/planes by the year 2010.  Three years later, I have not seen any flying cars, but I am sure ready to ditch the traffic, avoid the school buses, and hit the skies.  Let’s just hope the exciting new changes don’t come with even longer lines at the DMV.
