All it would need is a strong gush of wind to change lanes, whether or not Jetsons want to change the hover car's direction. Changing lanes would be a breeze: A light, floating car would be very, very easy to maneuver. How the hell do we do a burnout? Since the car will be elevated, floating slightly above the road with zero friction, how the hell do we do a burnout? With every attempt, the Hover car would be fizzing around like loose cannon.ģ. Till then, we support the PETA activists and their protests.Ģ. So, once Toyota finds a solution to make the car hover, keep it light weight, make it accelerate the company will have to deal with the task of making the Hover Car come to a halt, quickly. Now that we've joined the dots, we know that the other important job for friction between road and tyres is to help the car brake and the shed speed. Will it brake well or will it break well? Tyres+friction+road = Breaking.

can we use this point in the vices of Hover Car section?ġ. This could also put an end to nude protest. You'll be a superhero! (Standing ovation). PETA revolutionaries would rejoice in joy. The Hover Car saves life people will not lose their cool trying to overtake. No more road rage: You'll never run over unwitting animals on the highway, but would simply hover over them. Imaging the money you'll be saving since you won't be buying replacement tyres. Extends tyre life: With almost zero friction, the Hover Car's tyres would last a lifetime. If you're in a Hover Car, you'll be blowing away the stray nails along with the tyre puncture shop mafia's deceitful plan to con you.ģ. End of the tyre puncture shop mafia: We'll be saying goodbye to that feeling of being stranded in the middle of nowhere with a flat tyre, waiting for the nearest repair guy to come and rip you off. Finally, you can have your coffee and drive, just like in Hollywood movies, without spilling it on your trousers.Ģ. No contact with the road: Since, the Hover Car will be floating just above the road it will be a major success in India, considering the moon like surface of our roads. Here are some crazy virtues and vices of driving around in a hover car:ġ. Sigh!īut the idea certainly tickles your imagination, doesn't it? So, what do you think it will be like to be afloat in the magical Toyota Hover Car?

And sorry to disappoint you further, this is just a case-study and the actual Toyota hovering car may not make it to the showrooms anytime in the near future. Sadly, unlike Luke Skywalker's Landspeeder, the Toyota's concept car won't be actually flying around, but instead would be floating slightly above the road to reduce friction. Doesn't it sound like a bit of an Alladin or the Jetsons-like feeling, albeit, in the contemporary world set-up? In an international interview, Hiroyoshi Yoshiki (Managing Officer of Toyota Motor Corporation) was quoted saying that the company has been toying with the idea of flying cars at one of Toyota's high tech R&D centres.

Toyota has floated the idea of developing a future airborne car. And to fuel your imagination further, if drones do become the order of the day, can flying cars be far behind? Here are some Ups and Downs of a hover car in our country (tongue firmly in the cheek). And probably got a bit of a hint about what we can expect in the near future. You must have recently read about one of the most audacious stunts of delivering a pizza, through a drone in Mumbai. Are we getting a flying Prius? No it's not drones that we are talking about here.
