Depends on the traffic! It would sure be fun to try it out though.

I'm a retired AF pilot. There's a lot to flying safely, and I hope the check out is very thorough. I would hate to see one of these cars land on my home or car, or anyone else's for that matter. Hats off to the company for making this long sought-after dream a reality. Pretty cool.

Just because the cartoons told us we'd be flying cars in the 1990s doesn't mean it's a good idea. People can't handle navigating in 2D just imagine how bad they will be in 3D.

Not this one. I dont consider 125 mph on the ground high performance at all, nor 190 MPH air speed! Definitely not if it is electric! To small, too expensive and most likely not insurable! Also not good looking. It is not practical.

There is enough distracted driving and road rage on the ground. Now in the air?

Nothing ships for the next two years. Look for information on Jim Bede. He sold thousands of airplanes in the "kit" category. It was the Bede-5. Thousands of people never received a complete kit.

I prefer metering to increasing the number of lanes. More than one lane makes roundabouts much more dangerous to navigate, especially with drivers who are not locals and do not understand how roundabouts work. 2 lanes = many more accidents plus 2 lanes need to be a much larger diameter for safety.

If it weren’t so maddening, our City counselors would make for a cast in a Monty Python show. They befuddle themselves with ludicrous ideas and foist them onto the taxpayers. Bend is becoming a laughing stock to outsiders and a source of continual angst for the residents.

Isn't that why they put the round about in because stop lights were going to cost to much????? Just saying.

doesn't this defeat the purpose of a roundabout? might as well make it a regular intersection with lights.

If people used the roundabout correctly and actually filled in the gaps and went when there was an opening it would flow just fine. People wait for a bus sized gap before they go.

The people coming from the Old Mill Never Cease coming. Traffic is backed up to Bill Healy bridge everyday. At least in the winter.

What's the point of having a light at a roundabout? The point of a roundabout is to get rid of the lights. Widen it and start growing for the people coming here. The way bend builds, everything is obsolete by the time it's done.

I drive through this around about several times everyday and it is never an issue very rarely. Is it an issue? The reason they put roundabouts in for the first place was to get rid of stop lights and stop signs
