Apparently DARPA is interested in producing a flying car (called the Transformer) that can takeoff and land autonomously without the passengers needing pilot training.

I think some Botball students *cough Matt cough* may want to bid for the DARPA grants. :-P

Dane: I'd like to just drive down a highway with one of those, just to see what kind of reaction I would get. :-P
