  World's 1st Dual-Mode Bus-Train                                       Source:  Japan's DMV New Innovation From Japan Japan is putting into operation the world's first dual-mode vehicle (DMV), which is a bus that converts into a train.  The DMV is capable of driving on the road with its standard set of rubber tires.  And when it reaches its railroad destination, it can deploy its steel wheels to travel as a train on the tracks in just 15 seconds.  This 2-in-1 vehicle combination is now in commercial operation in coastal southern Japan.  It is being operated by the Asa Coast Railway Company and it is a world first in travel innovation. Tech Specs The vehicle is lighter in weight than most buses and trains.  The company says it operates on diesel fuel, but the light weight of the vehicle cuts down on emissions.  The vehicle can carry 21 passengers.  On the road, in bus mode, it can hit 62 mph.  On the tracks, in train mode, it can hit 37 mph.  The Asa Coast Railway Company e

Upcoming Roadster with SpaceX Rocket Thruster Package Option Can Briefly Fly                                                       Source:  Tesla Source:  Tesla CEO Elon Musk & Flying Cars Tesla CEO Elon Musk says his Tesla Roadster, to be released in 2022, is a flying car when coupled with his SpaceX Rocket Thruster package option.  However, it flies for just a few seconds.  The SpaceX rocket thruster option package equips the electric sports car with ten, cold air, rocket thrusters strategically positioned around the vehicle.  The configuration enables the vehicle to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 1.1 seconds.  That level of acceleration is historic and a record breaker.  Musk says the speed sensation is similar to that of a hardcore roller coaster.  He says "it's safe but very intense and not wise for those with a medical condition." A Flying Tesla that's No Joke The fact that Musk has created a car that can briefly fly is ironic because he has traditionally jo
