In Letting an Idea Take Off, Rushton features a flying car.
Rushton gives the following prompt to accompany this video:
“Would you want a car like this? Why or why not?
Now imagine explaining something that you think is cool, and having that explanation be a video with no one speaking. What would you choose, and what visuals would you use to tell the story?
Could you create an equally cool story, but for someone who cannot see? How would you craft that story?”
This was an amazing video of something I never thought would happen in my lifetime. I grew up watching The Jetsons but it was one of the cartoons that showed the “impossible” and the “impossible” is actually happening now. I think having a car like this would be wonderful and fun to drive, but I wondered about the logistics. Would you need a pilot’s license along with a driver’s license? What rules and regulations would be established to keep all drivers safe in the air? How much would insurance cost? How much would it cost to fuel the car and how far would it go on a tank of fuel? I wonder how long before we actually see cars like this available for the general public and what would be the cost of this car.
Please check out the video and think of other prompts you might come up with. Please share.
