Eyepopping Travel Tech
Beneficial Innovations: Flying & Driving Drones, Supersonic Flights & the Hyperloop Tube MIT roboticists are advancing development of flying-driving drones. They believe it facilitates the next generation of flying robotic cars. The concept is vertical takeoff and landings. The robot car is your driver. Cruising speeds up to 200 miles per hour. And, if it's electric, you help save the planet. No carbon emissions. Terrafugia, founded by MIT PhD. Carl Dietrich has a concept flying car, the TFX with vertical takeoffs and landings. The company created the world's first FAA and NTSB approved flying car The Transition with a team of MIT engineers. MIT researchers call their flying, driving drones the "flying car". They've developed 8, quadcopter drones. They're powered by 4 motors and 2 small motors attached to the wheels at the base. They can swarm in groups without colliding. The drones enable...
