I really don't like this

So, we can establish that this student owns a DVD copy of Minority Report. Is this really what passes for news?

why not just park the car in the garage and then take the elevator?

it will be hard to get out of car fast. Opening of doors, turning the seats are too slowly. What a man will be doing in case of emergency leave?

Depending on the elevation, he will either use an ejector seat and parachute combo or an inflatable boat to cushion the fall! :p

it may be more economically viable and less hassle to just use a current 800fpm elevator. They have bad ass motors and pimped out interiors! I know i don't mind mine! (sarcasm)

Minority Report: Yes. Innovative: Sure Feasible: IMO, yes; were a developer of condos or high-rise building to be selling a home with an electric urban runabout. The car might only be good for a 100mile run per charge, but since it's only for urban centers it could work. Where: UAE Dubai, they have the oil wealth, and the design nerve to do it. Why?: The idea that cars in the future will take on a more appliance-like role is not exciting to me overall, however efficiencies that are created by mass-production, and unified innovation could reduce maintenance, repair, and replacement costs overall. For example, if this use some 'skateboard' tech as shown by GM some years ago, it could be a lightweight, carbon fiber shell applied to one universal platform architecture. As for the artist copying Minority Report - it seems obvious enough to avoid judgment, and I am glad to see distant future ideas live on well after the movie (which I do own) has come and gone. Have a great weekend!

As an engineer, I see major potential in this design. Maybe he didn't release all the details, but I can definitely see where this could go. I still enjoy how closed-minded WCF readers are as well. Keep it up!

Yes, because I really want cars driving by my window.

With all due respect to the artist and Alfafox5 this is not the future of automobile function. Perhaps a niche market (such as Dubai). Don't get me wrong, it's cool, but regardless of how "close-minded" WCF readers appear to be you have to take into consideration the opinions that you do not want to hear as well, as they are still valid regardless of how you feel personally. I know. It's hard when someone tells you your "baby is ugly". I wish anyone well in their endevours and applaud innovation but before some oil sheik dumps a load a cash into this idea it would be wise to detach your emotions before that same investor looses a butt load of money on something that may very well become just an engineering feat. Remember, they also have the largest (and emptiest) mall in the world in Dubai too.

Something should be dead in human being to prefer something like that "comfort to be moved" for free flight e.g. hence already going so vertical.

This car is useless guys. Why are You making a 6-meter long, 2 seater limousine for a city like san francisco? Instead of focusing on saving space, increasing the efficency You focused on climbing on walls, which is absolutely pointless. No wonder american design is so bad at the time. Get real!
