In among all the common news from the Geneva motor show - new models from major manufacturers including lots of impressive-looking soft-roaders and EVs - something caught my vision and made me laugh: the unveiling of your travelling car prototype. The firms introducing it are heavyweights - Airbus and Italdesign, so this is no garage area hobbyist fantasy. However, what really interested me in the storyplot I was reading was that there are no fewer than five companies, some of them quite credible, currently striving to bring flying automobiles to market. Clearly, a reasonable range of talented people believe it will have a market for these machines. At this point, I should probably make clear i am in no way suggesting that fleets should be considering taking on flying cars now or in the future. In fact, considering the detailed difficulties of companies functioning vehicles of this type were what inspired this blog. To begin with, the Well being and Safety implications are never ending. What qualifications would a driver/pilot have to get lurking behind the wheel of such a vehicle? How would you decide which excursions were safe to take by air or where it was safe to land? The considerations exclusively are terrifying. Added to this are a range of lifeless but functional questions - where would it be safe to park? Is it easy to keep clean? Likewise, I've some serious questions to inquire about not simply the costs of buying a flying car but those relating to consumables such as fuel, oil and tyres. I suspect these and other costs will be - excuse the pun - sky high. However, there are a few clear advantages. The ability to pull off vertically when you are stuck in a traffic jam is, I am certain, a fantasy that many company car drivers have interested. In a world where technology has advanced enough to allow us to credibly about the potential customer of self-driving cars coming on fleets within a few years, it can sometimes seem to be like nearly anything is possible. But it is too large a leap to consider that a business could put its employees into travelling by air cars. Or could they? Deutsch Tech are a specialist German car garage that provide a BMW service in Milton Keynes.
