    What will cars be like in 20 years time?

    According to Back to the Future part 2 we will have flying cars by 2015


    Standard equipment, power plant etc...
    The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

    But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

          You won't have to drive it if you don't want to (at least on motorways).

          My grandkids will not believe that there was a time when you had to drive yourself anywhere.

              Cars?

              Electric push bike if you're lucky, not heard of ''peak oil'?

                I think The Flintstones showed us the future on that one.

                  I guess my point only makes sense when you know I don't have any kids yet...

                    We could have flying cars now, but they aren't very practical. You need either a big wing (or rotors) or a fuel hungry engine. e.g. a car on a hang-glider, or a fan strapped to someone's back, both of which have been done.

                    Basically you have to impart momentum to the air equal to the weight being lifted, either by pushing lots of air down slowly (a big wing/fan) or pushing down less air more quickly using more energy.
