Check this tool out:

http://www.alzado.net/cgi/LA/english.cgi?

It imports a web site and turns it into a 3-D architectural model. Very cool It looks great using: http://www.swg-avian.net/forums/ as an input.

Wow!

This kind of thing was in a NetForce book by Tom Clancy a while back. I don't know if he got the idea from them or vice versa but it is very cool to see that kind of thing getting a start!

Picture a few years from now when we put on a pair of glasses and browse the web in a VR world...actually, I guess we could do that now but once websites are designed with this type of browsing in mind, we could see some amazing things!

Yes,as a matter of fact, you can since the car will automatically handle avoidance collision and navigation.

According to Moller, the insurance company required a safety harness or some kind, but it had no bearing on the vehicle's flight.

I saw a review of the Skycar in some magazine last month too... can't remember which. Maybe Popular Science or something like that.
