Technology: See Teslas In Tunnels, Skating Under The Traffic (Video)
October 4, 2017
Crazy… like a genius. Yep, real-life Tony Stark (you know, billionaire tech futurist Elon Musk) leaving President Trump’s advisory cabal has left him with more time/energy to put into going to, landing on & living on Mars… making super-cool cars that come when you call them & drive themselves…
Now, we know that we can reduce traffic glut & stress (on people and our environment) if we relied more on high-tech, mass transit, or some combo of the two. But we LOVE being in our own cars (e.g. our own personal travel spaces). So how about this: Musk’s new tunneling business, Boring Company (‘boring’ like ‘drilling’), instead of pushing people onto buses and trains, is trying to make it possible to get our CARS on board. Watch the clip above. See how Musk can help sweep up the traffic mess, while allowing cars to hop on ‘skates’ and sweep past traffic, UNDERGROUND in a tunnel.

Hate Traffic? Then You’re Going To Love Pop.Up, A New Flying Car Concept (Video)
March 17, 2017
They went in on the music. Cool!
Check out this new vehicle concept in the direction of flying cars; and no, not like the flying DeLorean model drone we posted earlier. This flying car is real!
Italdesign and the aerospace industry leader Airbus unveiled Pop.Up, a trailblazing modular ground and air passenger concept vehicle system to relieve the traffic congestion in megacities of the future.
And really cool, huh?

Technology: Look, Up In The Sky… It’s NOT a Plane. It’s a Super-Zeppelin! (Video)
June 26, 2013
What you’ve just watched (unless you haven’t watched the above embedded video yet) is a demo vid for the Aeroscraft — a ‘super-Zeppelin’ (blimp) developed by Worldwide Aeros. It’s a very advanced blimp that has the potential to carry cargo more efficiently than any other aircraft. Imagine that – a blimp carrying tires instead of advertising them over the stadium. This could revolutionize long-range hauling in near-future. Think trucking in the ‘skyway’ rather than the highway. Probably won’t get stuck in an air traffic jam… until the rest of us start flying like The Jetsons or something. Very innovative tech. Found a story ’bout it in Businessweek. Wanna read it? Here it go.
