The flying car is here, so the story goes ...and it's safe!
Evidently it has collision avoidance detection, parachute etc 'in the unlikely event of ...'. The collision avoidance is for avoiding other aeroplanes, although I am sceptical that your propeller propelled 115mph flying car approaching a Tornado at mach 2.2 will be able to take avoiding action fast enough. That's a combined speed of something like 1400mph and err.. a quick calculation tells me the flying car will have to move flipping quick to get out of the way. 'Blink of an eye' springs to mind. Still, at least it's tyres should last a while...oh, and it's not available until 2020 or so.
In another article, it appears that students think that their university courses don't represent good value for money. This contrasts with when they didn't have to pay anything and didn't complain. It only goes to show we should have started charging years ago if we wanted to improve the courses.
Went out for a 5 miler last night, only to find I had a recurrence of my abductor injury (top inside thigh) which meant 2 miles of shuffling/walking home. Very frustrating, let's hope it was just because I was trying out the fast cadence/leaning forward style of running. I'll not be doing that in a hurry.
