We need another revolution, we need a revolution in personal transportation.

If you don’t find that thought provoking then you’re clearly happy with sitting in traffic and wasting your life trying to find parking on Kloof Street on a Friday evening.

AeroMobil CEO Juraj Vaculik is hoping to make your transport dreams come true in the next couple of years: the flying car could be yours come 2017. Vaculik has been dreaming of a flying car for 25 and has spoken about the “three new prisons afflicting modern commuters just like (apparently) a communist regime: the traffic prison, the airport prison, and the prison of bad infrastructure”.

The solution for these “prisons”? Flying cars.

OMG please tell me I will never have to reverse park something with those wings coming out of it. Full Friday panic.

Right, well, it sounds fun, but could you imagine the CARnage (sorry) with everyone trying to learn how to fly-drive? Good news!

Responding to a question about that last issue, Vaculik said his car will fit into pre-existing categories for both planes and cars. So you’d need to be a certified pilot to operate the vehicle.

As for the price? The target market would probably be “wealthy supercar buyers”, and anyway, as Vaculik says, “the cost of technology always drops” (realistically we’re looking at over a “couple of hundred thousand” Euro”). You’ll need Consequence Private Wealth to help you own this one.

In the meantime, go get your pilot’s licence.
