unless, u do a amphibian 1 .. can land on the sea, this may be a lot better ..

than u need to find a ramp or beach to get to the land ..

Still doesnt meant the basic requirement as the following:- - Affordability - Pricing was way too expensive - Practical - VTOL not applicable, Where you want to take off and the concern was where to land ? Someone still have to build a small landing area such as concept like R&R on our NS highway - Safety - With current technology of vehicle, we still cant ensure high rate in terms on safety on the road. What will happens if a car can fly ! These was the few things i could came up from my mind @ this time Anyway its a thumb up, for such a company daring for changes and invest during such recession period. Not practical at all.

Why dont make a helicopter car, isnt that easy to flying and landing and parking?
