Well, if it's anything close to $385k, i doubt there'll be much interest from the suspender snapping crowd around here.

In the year 2525, if man is still alive
Your arms hangin' limp at your sides
Your legs got nothin' to do
Some machine's doin' that for you

Most of us have enough trouble navigating two dimensional space on the road systems. Imagine the carnage with the average motorist needing to navigate three dimensional space? All of these proposed vehicles are really answers to questions no one has asked. A lot of them are cool enough, but they are all impractical and to ride/drive one today you would have to be a licensed pilot.

I still want one though.
