      I think I wouldn’t like to be a traffic cop whenever (if ever) they get invented.

      Hi 456bera39,
      A hover car can fly few meters above the ground. it is capable of elevating itself some distance from the ground through some repulsion technology or short range anti-gravity principle. It usually appears in works of science fiction. We are yet to see real one. The closest real-world devices are the hovercraft, which elevates itself above a water or level hard surface using a cushion of air retained by a flexible skirt. In near future as technology advances we may able to make a real hover car and then we all will go for exciting ride.
      Last Saturday we showed an activity to kids during our physics busking session where they prepared their hovercraft with an old CD, a bottle cap and a balloon…. It was amazing 🙂
