    Apparently jetpacks are back in, along with flying cars,
    driverless cab, safer cars!, and mag lev trains.

    The BBC takes a look at the future of transport:

    I suppose the upside of flying cars is that it will get some
    [censored] off the road. The downside is that it will put
    them in the air!

    Safer cars promise us: "Rounder and softer vehicles will
    appear as safety laws shape vehicle design. They will have
    sensors to detect pedestrians and other cars and will have
    air cushions inside and out." So peds and other cars will be
    okay but it looks like us cyclists will be in danger for a
    while longer. Must be a technology thing.

    I wouldn't mind be able to combine bicycles and jetpacks,
    it'd give one more side to pass queuing cars on.

    Hasn't this come out 2 days early?
