I saw that this morning. They are said to go 50mph and you will have to have a new liscence for them. Hoover Board: Now you're talking.

If you dig this sort of stuff, this little book is a blast. It covers all sorts of "futuristic" inventions and their histories.

This flying saucer looks like the latest in a long line of such things. Seriously cool on one level, but impractical, prohibitively expensive, questionably engineered, and possibly unsafe. Not that these things will stop two or three people with money to burn from buying one and then abandoning it after crashing into the doghouse.
