I wounder the same thing. I'd love to get out of traffic jams that way!

But, then I got to thinking. If insurance cost are to high right now, with people driving in two dimensional space. What's going to happen when the moron that can Handel chewing bubble gum, and turning the wheel at the same time, gets into three dimensional space?

Ya, the whole flying car thing falls apart once you start thinking about the infrastructure.

ok then,

Where's my teleporter?! Of course I don't really want to end up like a fly either.

do you need infrastructure, if your car flys?

Yeah, just what we need. A traffic jam at 3000 feet.

Ya, I don't think we will see these showing up anytime soon.

Why not just fly a plane and call it a car?

mythbusters busted the general lee myth, but i don't think they did it correctly. in their test, the car landed hard on its front end, which got all smashed. what if the trunk had been loaded with weight, though? might the dukes have done that? it's conceivable that they'd take steps to even out the weight so that the car isn't front-heavy.

You didn't say it had to survive the flight, or even fly for very long :)

Ya, the General Lee cars were all special built to land and keep going, at least for a short time. They built special cars just for the jumping parts.
