Road legal at last: The flying car finally gets its driving licence after years of delays

It's been cleared to take to the skies for more than a year - but that's not much use when you're supposed to be able to drive it, too. But now the flying car has at least been declared officially road legal.It means the Terrafugia Transition could be in U.S. garages as early as next autumn, after two years of delays.

It may not be the world's first flying car, but its makers say it is the first to have wings that fold up automatically at the push of a button.
It costs $200,000 - about the same price as a Ferrari - and can be reserved online for what Terrafugia describes as a 'modest' $10,000 deposit.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced the Transition, called a 'roadable aircraft' by its makers, can now be legally driven on America's roads. It granted the vehicle special dispensations, which allow it to use airplane-style plastic windows instead of the safety glass usually used in cars, as it would be too heavy.

Personally, I'd rather just go on rexresearch and use my PM winnings to build an anti-gravity craft, but then getting permission from the shadow government would be to much work to fly it. Who wants to fly a regular airplane anyway right? Bleh I want to go anti-gravity or just go home, that car is just a lame gimmick, and it's hundreds of years behind. Mine as well just go on a rollercoaster instead. Maybe, they well let us buy anti gravity craft in 2100 or 2200 someday, or at least build our own, and not shoot at us.
