  • @Trainmaster189 their may be more than that

  • cool video but guy has little bit of bs in him about flying cars i know there will be

  • flying vehicles will come heck are they talkin about

  • This is how the not-so-distant future will turn out to be:

    2020's-2030's

    1. High Speed Rail/Trains will might be the main form of transportation in the upcoming decades.

    2. Reusable shopping bags will replace paper and plastic bags when you go shopping.

    3. Cars will still run on roads but, powered by hybrid, electric, hydrogen, and vegetable oil.

    4. There will be more touch-screen gadgets on sale.

    5. Those Roomba sweeper robots will be better than today's.

  • 2:43 - "someone born 20-30 years from now..." I'd say someone born 20-30 years ago. No mention in this video either about Aubrey de Grey's SENS movement.

    And who needs to "watch TV" in their head when we'll, by the 2030s, have virtual reality creating any life or existence we want through neural nanobots and strong AI. The last thing I want is a "cool" way to watch crap entertainment provided by someone else that I can't control.

  • Did he say, "Forget about the JETPAK!!" ....No-way.. I already built my own. Now, I just have to learn how to control it in flight.

  • The Futurist magazine used the Moller SkyCar on its cover, September-October 2008 issue. The story was about sci-fi visions of the future and how close to (or how far off) the mark they hit.
